I am a Junior Web Developer with experience building and customizing digital experiences. In 2023, I transitioned from the fitness industry to pursue my passion for technology. I enjoy solving problems, creating intuitive interfaces, and building tools that make people’s lives easier.
I have worked on projects with Origin Brand Merch, gaining hands-on experience in developing and enhancing digital experiences. Previously, I also gained valuable experience as a Developer Intern at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and completed the HeadStarter AI Software Engineering Fellowship. These opportunities strengthened my skills in front-end and back-end development and helped shape my path in tech.
Before my career in tech, I was a Division II Basketball player, an experience that taught me teamwork, discipline, and perseverance—qualities I bring to every project I tackle.
My goal is to keep growing as a full-stack developer and use technology to contribute to meaningful, real-world solutions.
My faith shapes how I learn, serve, and approach my personal and professional growth. Explore the three guiding principles that influence my decisions, goals, and approach to software engineering.

Throughout my transition into software engineering, I have completed projects that strengthened both my technical skills and personal character. Each project challenged me to think critically, collaborate effectively, and apply ethical principles while developing practical solutions. These experiences have reinforced my belief that technical excellence should be guided by integrity, continuous learning, and a desire to serve others.
Contributed to the development and maintenance of the company's promotional website by building responsive layouts, implementing interactive features, and integrating Google Tag Manager to support analytics and user engagement. Collaborated with the marketing team to update content and improve the browsing experience across desktop and mobile devices. The project supported a real-world commercial website while balancing business requirements, usability, and responsive design.
(Note: The website has since been redesigned by a third-party agency, so the current live site no longer reflects my original work.)
Developed a full-stack flashcard application that helps users create, organize, and study flashcards through an intuitive interface. Integrated the Google Gemini API to automatically generate study cards from user content, implemented Clerk authentication to protect individual accounts, and used Firebase for persistent cloud storage. The project demonstrates how generative AI can reduce the manual work of creating study materials while providing users with a personalized study experience.

Built a web-based inventory management application that helps users track, organize, and update inventory through a clean, responsive interface. Implemented dynamic CRUD functionality with React and Material UI and used Firebase for persistent, real-time data storage. The application provides a centralized way to manage inventory records and demonstrates how a full-stack solution can simplify everyday business operations.
Created a personal expense tracking application that helps users record, organize, and monitor daily spending in one place. Integrated Firebase for persistent data storage and built a responsive interface with React and Tailwind CSS for a simple and intuitive experience. The application helps users maintain organized financial records and better understand their spending through an accessible digital tool.

Contributed to the development and optimization of the Church magazine website during my web development internship. Built and refined reusable React components and functions, resolved bugs, and supported responsive layouts for the global website launch. I also conducted QA testing and created test cases to identify issues before release, contributing to a more reliable and consistent experience for users.
Designed and developed a responsive portfolio website to present my technical projects, professional experience, and growth as a software engineer. Built the site with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, implementing responsive layouts, interactive navigation, and reusable visual components across desktop and mobile devices. The portfolio continues to evolve as I refine its accessibility, usability, and presentation of my technical and professional work.
Learn how I refined this portfolio throughout the course, including the challenges I addressed, ethical considerations, and improvements I made.
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into software development, it is important to use these tools responsibly while maintaining integrity, accountability, and respect for others' work.
I reflected on the ethical use of AI tools such as ChatGPT when writing code. While AI can improve productivity and help developers learn new concepts, I questioned whether some generated code could be based on another developer's work without proper attribution. This raised concerns about academic honesty, intellectual property, and my responsibility as a future software engineer.
Instead of copying AI-generated code without understanding its origin, I would use ChatGPT as a learning assistant rather than a replacement for my own work. I would study the suggested solution, verify that I understand how it works, modify it when appropriate, and review it for correctness, security, and originality before including it in my projects.
When appropriate, I would also disclose my use of AI tools according to academic or workplace expectations.
This approach allows developers to benefit from AI while maintaining academic and professional integrity. It promotes deeper learning, reduces the risk of unintentionally copying another person's work, and encourages developers to take responsibility for the software they create.
By understanding and reviewing AI-generated code before using it, developers build trust with teammates, employers, and users while continuing to improve their own programming skills.
This ethical reflection reinforces my three guiding principles. Seeking the Lord first reminds me to choose integrity over convenience. Learning with diligence encourages me to use AI as a tool to strengthen my own understanding rather than replace genuine learning. Serving others through my talents means developing software honestly and responsibly so that the technology I create can positively impact those who use it.
My professional experience has allowed me to apply software engineering principles, collaborate with teams, and solve real-world technical challenges.
September 2024 – January 2026
Developed and maintained nearly 30 customer websites and pop-up stores using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Managed Shopify and deconNet stores, configured domains and Stripe accounts, created SOPs, and supported onboarding and IT operations.
July 2024 - September 2024
Built and deployed AI-powered applications and APIs while collaborating with engineering fellows throughout the full software development lifecycle. Received mentorship on Agile, CI/CD, Git, and software engineering best practices.
April 2024 - August 2024
Developed and optimized the Church magazine website using React and JavaScript, implemented reusable functions and hooks, and resolved critical bugs for the global launch. Conducted QA testing, created test cases, used Kanban practices, and planned layouts with Lucidchart.
I actively engage in professional organizations and continuous learning to expand my technical skills, collaborate with others, and grow as a software engineer.
Continue developing my coding skills through courses and hands-on projects in JavaScript, React, HTML, CSS, and other web development technologies.
Participate in a professional organization dedicated to supporting Hispanic leadership, professional growth, and representation in STEM fields.
Participate in a campus technology group focused on innovative projects, emerging technologies, collaboration, and networking with industry professionals.
