Software developer and freelancer with a strong focus on front-end development and solid skills in backend work, currently active on Upwork and cooking right now on a UI component library, coming soon!
My experience includes building scalable applications, designing cool components, and leading development teams. Whether optimizing a website, crafting a custom CMS, or creating innovative tools like VSCode extensions, I love diving deep into the code.
When I'm not coding, I'm exploring the latest in AI, serverless technologies, web designs, system designs or sharing insights on my blog. If you're into tech, development tips, and cool projects, welcome to my corner of the web!
I grew up in Peru 🇵🇪 and moved to Maryland, USA 🇺🇸 in 2017. In 2022, I graduated with honors from Montgomery College and transferred to the University of Maryland to pursue a bachelor's degree in Computer Science.
I've always had a passion for teaching. I started as a math teaching assistant at Montgomery College, where I enjoyed breaking down complex concepts for my fellow students. During undergrad at UMD, I led several teams building web and mobile apps, growing into a charismatic leader.
A big part of my free time is learning new technologies, mastering complex concepts, writing articles, and building cool apps. You can find what I've been writing on the Articles page.
