About Me

John Alferez portrait

I'm a passionate developer who loves crafting beautiful, functional web experiences. With a mind full of creativity and a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, I approach every project with curiosity and a drive to bring ideas to life through code.

My journey in tech started with a curiosity for how things work, and has evolved into a career focused on creating meaningful digital products. I believe great software is a balance of aesthetics, performance, and accessibility.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new technologies, going for a hike, or relaxing with a good game.
