full-stack developer
I am a self-taught developer who is passionate about learning and building full-stack applications. I received my BS in Industrial & Systems Engineering from Texas A&M University in August 2018 and have been developing ever since. Being born and raised in Guatemala has given me the perspective to understand how much technology, inovation, and software can improve the quality of life of underdeveloped communities. I would love to one day leverage the skills I am building to contribute to that cause.
Software development is the only skill that allows someone to build a product, service, or entertainment application and deploy it to the web for the entire world to access with nothing but a computer and internet connection. I think that's pretty amazing. Personally, I want to be involved in an industry that is always innovating and that has an impact on people's lives. Writing code, building applications, and solving challenging puzzles and bugs are all incredibly stimulating activities for me!

This application lets you search for Tweets by user or by keyword/topic. The search will display the most recent and relevant tweets based on the type of search you perform. You may also choose to look at random tweets.
The Twitter API App has a React front end that communicates with a Node Express server. The server makes requests to the Twitter API and the responses are then rendered here!
This application let's you play the classic Snake Game! You can control the snake with the arrow keys to catch as many apples as you can. Let's see if you can beat the high score.
The Snake Game App is built with CSS, HTML, and Vanilla JavaScript.
This application allows a user to register an account, login, and submit image URLs to be analyzed by a face detection algorithm (courtesy of the Clarifai API).
The Face Detection App has a React front end that communicates with a Node Express server. The server communicates with a PostgresSQL database to validate user login.
