About
Hey, I’m Javi. I’m a Full Stack Developer. I started out in digital marketing, where one of my services was building automated lead management systems. That experience made me realize how much I enjoy solving problems with code. I pushed myself to dive deeper into software development, and now I focus on creating projects that make a real impact for people and businesses.
Experience
I'm a Full Stack Developer. My main stack includes React, Express, and FastAPI, but I’m always open to learning new tools if the project calls for it.
One of my favorite projects was building an AI-powered web app for my Code Ninjas students. It generates pixel sprites and connects with MakeCode Arcade + Impact, so my students can drop their creations straight into their games. I built this project with React.js + Express.js, and it's currently being used in two CodeNinjas locations (with plans to expand to more)!

Education
I graduated from the University of North Georgia with a degree in Computer Science and a 3.8 GPA. School gave me a strong technical foundation, but most of my growth came from applying what I learned in real projects.
