About / Sobre mí

I'm an IT student based in Mexico with a passion for building things that work—whether that's optimizing algorithms, wiring up microcontrollers, or crafting clean code.

Bilingual in Spanish and English, I bridge technical concepts across languages and cultures. My journey spans from low-level C++ programming with object-oriented design to connecting hardware (ESP32/ESP8266) with databases.

I've explored graph algorithms, network analysis tools, CAD modeling in SolidWorks, and even academic writing. Outside of code, you'll find me perfecting the art of photography or tinkering with hardware projects.

My values: Attention to detail, continuous learning, and delivering solutions that actually solve problems—not just check boxes.

Projects / Proyectos

🔷

C++ Shapes Library & Area Polymorphism

C++ OOP

Implemented a polymorphic shapes library with a pure virtual area() method in the base Shape class. Derived classes (Rectangle, Circle, Polygon) override with their own calculations.

🕸️

Graph Traversal Tool

C++ Algorithms File I/O

Loads graph data from an adjacency matrix file, converts to adjacency list representation, and performs DFS/BFS traversals with visual output.

📊

Network Analysis Program

C++ unordered_map

Analyzes network logs using hash tables keyed by IP address. Outputs access counts and unique connection summaries with O(1) lookups.

Syntax Highlighter (Parallel vs Sequential)

Multithreading Performance

Syntax highlighting tool with sequential and parallel implementations. Detailed performance report comparing execution times and speedup factors.

📐

SolidWorks CAD Projects

SolidWorks CAD

Mechanical designs and 3D models using SolidWorks Student Edition (licensed via Xpert ME). Includes assemblies and technical drawings.

🐉

Modern Dragon Tribal (MTG)

Game Design Strategy

Modern-format MTG deck focused on cheating large dragons into play. Demonstrates strategic thinking and resource optimization that transfers to system design.

📝

Academic Essays & Research

Writing APA

Essays focusing on a broad range of social issues with structured academic writing, critical analysis, and proper APA citation methodology.
