Problemshave a name.Solutions, code.

Informatics engineering student. Below is what I built and why it exists.

// about me

A curious engineer,who builds solutions.

I like taking things apart to see how they work. Once I understand one, I'm already thinking about what to build with it. That's why I never married a stack: I learn whatever the problem asks for, whether that's Rust for a secrets vault or Expo for a mobile app.

I'd rather ship a rough first version and fix it as I go than spend weeks polishing a plan nobody has tested. Ask, learn fast, build. That's the loop I trust.

I study Informatics Engineering at Universidad de La Sabana, I'm president of the IEEE Computer Society student chapter there, and I've tutored differential calculus, integral calculus and probability. When I'm not coding I'm usually playing chess or tennis.
