A bit about me, my interests, and what drives me to build and contribute.
I'm a Costa Rican student finishing a technical diploma in Network Configuration, Communications Support and Operating Systems at CTP Limón. I'm deeply interested in computer science and programming, and I like getting involved in things where I can learn, build, and contribute. I often end up turning that curiosity into projects of my own — from an AAC app and small platforms to a sumo-fighting robot and simple tools built to solve everyday problems. I'm also drawn to intercultural experiences, civic projects, and youth leadership, and I enjoy getting involved in communities and initiatives beyond the classroom.
What ties most of it together is a simple idea: technology is most interesting to me when it can solve a real problem. I'm particularly interested in accessibility and civic participation, where software and technical skills can make information, communication, and opportunities easier to reach.

Education
CTP Limón — Networks & Operating Systems, Dec 2026
A selection of projects I've designed, built, and contributed to.
Moody: Colors That Speak
AAC · Accessibility
An AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) app designed to support communication through ARASAAC pictograms, accompanied by an ESP32-based wearable prototype for expressing emotional states. Selected among the Top 5 nationally at ExpoTécnica 2025 from 60+ competing projects.
PJGYS 2026
Web · Civic tech
Web platform developed for Parlamento Joven Guía y Scout Costa Rica 2026, used to publish and organize 11 legislative proposals with PDF viewing, search, filtering, and progress tracking. I also authored Proposal #6 on communicative accessibility in public spaces, which was selected by my fraction.
Sumobot competition
Robotics
Autonomous sumo-fighting robot built on an ESP32-based board with CircuitPython. The team competed at Maker Faire San José in two consecutive editions, alongside 190+ participating teams each year. I maintain the embedded codebase and help mentor incoming teammates.
Aion: Academic Information & Opportunity Network
Web · Community
A student-led web platform I helped build to connect a school community of 1,000+ learners with academic and leadership opportunities. More than 50 opportunities have been organized and published so far, combining student-submitted listings with stories and practical information.
PytoClicker
Python · Desktop
A lightweight Python autoclicker built with Tkinter, featuring configurable clicking, hotkey controls, and a minimal desktop interface. The project was also an exercise in restructuring a small application into a cleaner class-based architecture.
Lyrics Reader
Python · Desktop · API
A desktop utility for finding and reading song lyrics one line at a time. It checks a local JSON cache before querying LRCLIB, supports Unicode lyrics, and includes keyboard controls for moving through each verse.
Links for the ones I've made public are under the sumobot menu in the home section — not all of these are open-source yet.
