I'm a criminal lawyer who codes. For over a decade, I worked in Colombia's judiciary: first as a legal officer, then as a judge conducting criminal trials, evaluating complex evidence, and writing rulings with real consequences for real people.

That work trains you to reason under pressure, spot gaps in logic, and make defensible decisions with incomplete data. Those are the same skills I bring to software.

Since relocating to Denmark, I've built deliberately: front-end development → data analytics → backend web development, completing Hack Your Future's 9-month backend specialization and presenting my final project at Microsoft. I use AI daily as a working tool: prompting, evaluating outputs, integrating it into workflows, and understanding its limits. My cybersecurity studies in GRC, GDPR, and threat assessment add the risk-thinking layer that comes naturally from a legal background.

I won't pretend I know everything about tech. I'm still early in a vast field. But that's exactly the point: I'm not drifting in. I'm going wide and deep, across web development, data, and cybersecurity, with intention, because I believe technology should serve people, and the people who build it should understand the systems it operates in. That gap between those who understand and those who manage? I'm closing it, deliberately, one layer at a time.

I'm looking for roles at the intersection of law, data, and technology, where understanding compliance isn't separate from building the system, and where the person who can read a regulation is also the one writing the API.

Portfolio Website HTML · CSS · Deployed on Vercel Personal portfolio site showcasing my transition from law to tech — background, skills, and project work in one place.

Easy Bloom — Plant Care Platform (Final Capstone Project) PostgreSQL · Express.js · JWT · Knex · Hack Your Future · 2026 Built with a team of four, presented at Microsoft. Owned backend authentication and security: user registration, bcrypt password hashing, JWT session management with 7-day token expiry, and rate limiting to prevent brute-force attacks. Designed the PostgreSQL schema with Knex migrations and full Swagger/OpenAPI documentation. Integrated the PlantBook API through a dedicated service layer.

Events Startup — Ticketing Platform PostgreSQL · Express.js · JWT · Hack Your Future · 2026 Solo project: built a complete ticketing platform API from a Product Requirements Document through deployment. Designed the PostgreSQL schema with ERD, implemented JWT authentication and transactional checkout logic, and delivered comprehensive Swagger/OpenAPI documentation. Managed the full build cycle end-to-end using weekly Trello backlogs and iterative mentor review.

Brewed With Love — Full-Stack Coffee Shop TypeScript · Express.js · React · Hack Your Future · 2026 Team project building a shopping cart API from design to deployment. Defined the data model, endpoints, and TypeScript types for the team. Implemented concurrent write protection using a mutex to prevent data corruption under simultaneous requests. Connected a React frontend to the live backend, deployed independently on Render.

AI & the Judiciary — Research Project Independent Research · 2026 Researched and published a structured analysis of Colombia's first Constitutional Court ruling on AI use in judicial proceedings (T-323/2024), synthesizing frameworks from UNESCO, the Council of Europe CEPEJ guidelines, and the EU AI Act. Used generative AI tools throughout the research process to cross-reference legal frameworks and accelerate synthesis.

Frog Hunter — Memory Card Game Full-Stack JavaScript · Hack Your Future · 2025 Browser-based memory card game with three difficulty levels, a countdown timer, and state-based win/loss logic. Built and deployed as part of a team working across defined sprint cycles with Trello for backlog management.

Employee Insights — Data Analytics Python · Power BI · ReDI School · 2025 Cleaned and analyzed a raw employee salary dataset. Built Power BI dashboards with KPI indicators and Python scripts (pandas, matplotlib) for data transformation, with attention to responsible handling of sensitive data.

10+ years in Colombia's judiciary: Legal officer → Judge: conducting criminal trials, authoring rulings, and coordinating across prosecutors, defense attorneys, and public institutions with competing interests.

Since moving to Denmark (2023): Support worker at Københavns Kommune, researcher at Transparency International (co-authored Korruption i Danmark 2000–2024), and Volunteer Project Coordinator at AXIS NGO.
