Hola! I'm Aleja, a full-stack web developer. My story combines a love for solving complex problems and a natural inclination for structured processes. Whether it's code puzzles, managing my farm, or building Legos, I'm constantly drawn to challenges.
In just five years, I made a bold leap from Colombia to the U.S., mastering English, attending community college, transferring to a four-year university, earning my bachelor's degree as a Political Science Major at UCSD #GoTritons, and now, in the present, I'm earning my certification as a Full Stack Web Developer at LEARN Academy.
My experiences extend beyond academics, including farm ownership, customer service, and billing management. For the full picture, check out my resume.
I aim to inspire and mentor others, especially those from non-traditional backgrounds. I strongly believe in the power of representation and I want to inspire other Colombian women and girls to explore and pursue their passion for coding.
My portfolio is a love letter to Colombia, with every photo featuring the beauty of the Coffee Region. Alongside my coding skills, I bring a fresh perspective to any team. If you're into new opportunities and connecting with like-minded enthusiasts, let's connect!
