About Juan

I am a recent graduate with a strong desire to embark on my professional career in the world of technology as a software developer.

I recently earned my Bachelors of Arts in Computer Science from Macalester College, a journey that has not only equipped me with theoretical and technical knowledge but also triggered a passion for problem solving and innovation.

During my time at Macalester, I had the honor of being part of the Bonner Community Scholar program, where I immersed myself in a four-year experience. This experience provided me with valuable lessons in leadership, academic support, and the opportunity to get involved in the community. Additionally, I was fortunate to complete internships at non-profit organizations, such as Comunidades Latinas Unidas en Servicio (CLUES) and Saint Paul Neighborhood Network (SPNN), where I contributed to the well-being of the community and made a positive impact.

My fascination with technology thrived in the summer of 2021, when I had the chance to intern at SayKid, a pioneering startup that created the world's first screenless, game-based learning platform. In this role, I served as a WordPress developer and graphic designer, gaining hands-on experience and expanding my technical skills. It was at this time that I discovered my passion for programming and solving complex problems.

Throughout my career, I have cultivated a versatile skill set, encompassing both professional and soft skills, such as effective communication, attention to detail, time management, creative problem solving, and mastery of programming.

Currently, I am eager to apply my knowledge and skills to contribute to the world of technology. I am open to new opportunities that allow me to continue growing and generate a positive impact.
