About

With a robust educational foundation from OCC, my journey as Co-founder and Back-end Developer at Talyko has been marked by spearheading cost-reduction strategies and enhancing API efficiency with Fastify. Leveraging AWS S3 for data management, our team optimized storage solutions and elevated signup rates through the integration of multiple OAuth2 providers. As a Data Analyst at Cervecería Hondureña, the focus was on extracting crucial data to formulate preventive maintenance plans, utilizing Telegram's API for effective real-time alerts. Volunteering at City of Hope, I've delivered emotional support to patients, heightening community and wellness through organized activities and educational initiatives. Transferring to a 4-year university in Fall 2025 to pursue my bachelor's degree in computer engineering.
