Profile

4th-semester Systems Engineering student at TecNM Instituto Tecnológico de Nuevo León. I work part-time at the family business — manufacturing and selling tamales across 12 branches and one CEDIS — where I lead the Odoo migration, build operational dashboards, and act as the bridge between the implementation vendor and the operations team.

My edge: 10 years of real-world operations before my first function. That gives me business context most developers don't have when starting out.
