I’m a Peruvian-American software developer who got into coding during the pandemic by trying to outsmart the internet. What started as Python Selenium scripts to snag a PlayStation 5 quickly turned into a real interest in how large platforms work, break, and defend themselves. I taught myself JavaScript by pulling apart client-side systems, reading APIs, and building request-based tools to buy sneakers for myself and as a side hustle.
What kept me hooked was the constant back and forth between developers and protection systems. It felt like a game where the goal was understanding the system better than it understood you. Along the way, I spent time studying and finding solutions for systems like DataDome, reCAPTCHA, and Human Security, which pushed me to think more deeply about how modern platforms are built and secured.
Most of my work lives in the JavaScript ecosystem, including Node.js, TypeScript, React, Express, MongoDB, and frameworks like Next.js. I also have working knowledge of Java, C++, and Python, and I’m always open to learning new tools when the problem calls for it. Outside of coding, I’m into music and live shows, lifting to stay sane, late-night Overwatch sessions with friends, and fashion history. I originally planned to study fashion, but computer science ended up scratching the same creative and technical itch, and I’m glad it did.
