Hire Me Now

Hi, I’m Krystal! Nice to meet you.

Driven by a childhood dream of becoming the next Steve Jobs, I am a Hispanic full-stack software developer who found my way back to my true passion after initially letting fear hold me back. With a strong foundation in business administration and intensive technical training, I specialize in creating scalable web applications, integrating APIs, and designing seamless user experiences. My journey from overcoming self-doubt to embracing software development demonstrates my resilience and determination to tackle any challenge. As a former collegiate athlete, I bring a strong work ethic, teamwork, and problem-solving skills to my work. Proud of my heritage, I am committed to increasing diversity in tech and fostering inclusive spaces, aiming to inspire others—especially those from underrepresented backgrounds—who might be hesitating to pursue their dreams in technology.
