What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a collaborative team where I can keep growing as a junior developer while building responsive, high-performance web applications across frontend and backend.

I’m a Junior developer focused on frontend, backend, and full-stack web solutions. I’m currently pursuing Software Engineering at the Technical University of Ambato and I build with a strong emphasis on “modern interfaces, responsive design (UI/UX), and clean, maintainable code,” while continuously learning to deliver high-performance dynamic applications.

In my recent experience, I’ve developed and maintained institutional and cultural web solutions for the Casa de la Cultura (Tungurahua Branch), delivering functional modules and ongoing improvements using WordPress, PHP, JavaScript, CSS, and MySQL. I also work as a freelancer on web development, technical support, PC assembly/optimization, and AI agents for task automation. My projects include an Astro/TypeScript/Tailwind corporate site, a WordPress/PHP cultural portal, and an Angular + Spring Boot e-commerce platform with a dynamic catalog and decoupled RESTful backend.
