Some of the amazing side projects I have worked on:

Parranda Boricua - Cloud

This version of Parranda Boricua was built from the ground up to be a progressive web application that lives in the cloud. The benefit of this is that you can access it from anywhere, and it no longer requires any app store. The application is now platform agnostic, so that means that is works on iOS, Android, Windows, Mac and Linux.

Scienteer is designed to guide students, teachers and fair directors through the required steps to comply with the Intel ISEF competitions. Built from the ground up using PHP, Laravel, Bootstrap and MySQL.

SchlockDB is a database of movies that are very unique and have questionable quality. Note: The app might take a little bit to load for the first time to wake up the Heroku server.

This is the mobile version of Scienteer. Completly built with Ionic 3, Cordova and Angular.

Created this dashboard to help the people of San Antonio to visualize the spread of COVID-19 was in the city.

Self-Driving Pickup Truck

I converted my pickup truck into a self-driving truck. This was done with some modifications to Comma.ai's source code to support my truck.

El Bad Robot is a simple AI that is trained from Bad Bunny lyrics. In theory it should be able to write music lyrics.
