What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values innovation and diversity, offering growth opportunities.

I'm Bo Mendez, a dedicated software engineer with a Master's in Computer Science from Northeastern University. My journey in tech began as a computer science teacher, where I fostered a love for programming in my students and advocated for increased Latinx representation in the field. I thrive on tackling complex challenges and have a proven track record of delivering impactful solutions.

At Lumen Technologies, I successfully migrated on-premises platforms to the cloud, resulting in significant cost savings and increased efficiency. My work in automating manual reports saved over 200 hours monthly for my team. I also developed a DevOps model that streamlined deployment processes, showcasing my ability to blend technical skills with strategic thinking. Currently, I am developing a mobile app for Mo’ Jam Presents, where I translate client requirements into actionable features, ensuring a seamless user experience.
