Hello, I am Alex, an aspiring full stack engineer. I have developed multiple projects using React and Next.js. Recently, I have integrated Go into my tech stack.

Combining Creativity and Engineering Principles into Seamless User Experience.
About Me.

My primary interest lies in front-end development, where I enjoy creating intuitive and dynamic user interfaces. However, as I have gained experience with Go, I have also developed a strong interest in backend development. This dual focus allows me to appreciate the full spectrum of software development, from designing seamless user experiences to building robust and scalable server-side applications. Additionally, I am excited about exploring areas such as cloud computing and DevOps, where I can leverage my skills in both front-end and back-end development to create comprehensive and efficient solutions.

Career Interests
My interests span various tech fields, evolving as I learn. I am always eager to expand my knowledge.

My Experience.

  1. Computer Science Tutor

    Provided tutoring support to computer science students at Southwestern College, assisting with programming assignments and projects. Conducted workshops on various programming languages and topics to enhance student understanding.

  2. Research Assistant

    Contributed to a research project at San Diego State University focused on optimizing data rates for a Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) system. Utilized Python and MATLAB for data analysis and simulations.

  3. Computer Science Student

    Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at San Diego State University, maintaining a 4.0 GPA. Expected graduation in 2025, actively seeking summer internship opportunities.

  4. Frontend Developer Intern

    Serving as a frontend developer intern at AcademicAssist, leading the redesign of the landing page and implementing new features to enhance the functionality of the web app.

  5. Frontend Developer Intern

    Developing a website for the Computer Science department at San Diego State University, incorporating authentication mechanisms using auth.js.

  6. Freelance Full-Stack Engineer

    Designed and developed a full-stack website for Oak Outlet Plus, a local business, using React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, Framer Motion, and S3 for file storage.

Some of my recent Projects.

  • Pathfinding Visualizer

    A tool to visualize and compare various pathfinding algorithms.

    Algorithm Visualization

    Visualize popular pathfinding algorithms like A*, Dijkstra, and BFS. See how each algorithm finds the shortest path in a grid-based layout.

    Customizable Grids

    Create and modify grids with obstacles, start, and end points to see how different algorithms perform under various conditions. Currently implementing auto-generatable mazes to enhance the complexity and challenge of pathfinding.

    Interactive Demo

    Interact with the visualizer by placing obstacles, changing start and end points, and watching the algorithms in action.
