What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead or contribute to AI‑driven full‑stack projects, work in collaborative agile teams, and continue applying research to production systems for measurable impact.

I am an eighth‑semester Systems Engineering student with hands‑on experience leading research and development projects that bridge AI and practical applications. I have led technical teams, instituted TDD and agile practices, and designed scalable microservices architectures to deliver maintainable systems.

As a developer and researcher I built a full‑stack dynamic tourist route optimization system using React, Node.js/Express, PostgreSQL, Docker, and AWS Lambda, and implemented graph algorithms that reduced computational complexity. I also led OVIA, an AI‑driven teacher training platform, integrating NLP and recommendation engines with Python, TensorFlow, and AWS SageMaker.

I have presented my work at HCI Iberoamérica 2025 and the Cumbre Internacional de Turismo 2025 and I collaborate closely with academic and industry stakeholders to align technical solutions with user needs and real‑world impact.
