About me

I am a seventh-semester Software Engineering student at the National Polytechnic School, with a strong background in object-oriented programming, data structures, databases, and web and mobile application development.

My academic and personal experience includes designing and building systems with Java, C#, Python, HTML5/CSS/JavaScript, PHP, and SQL Server. On the web development side, I write semantic HTML5 along with CSS and JavaScript, and I also work with Python for automated testing using the Django framework together with Gherkin for behavior-driven web development. I'm particularly interested in backend development, databases, and efficient, accessible software design.
