Hi, I'm Gabriela!

I'm a software developer passionate about both design and implementation. I code with reliability and usability in mind, and only once I have a clear plan. My background as an Industrial Engineer taught me the importance of managing scarce resources, such as time, adequately. Because of this, I place special emphasis to planning. This helps me spend less time maintaining and debugging, and more time creating. From CSS design to algorithm design, I add each line of code with care and precision so that my code is lean, predictable, and easy to use and maintain.

Projects

Link Tracker

App to store and manage links to important resources so that users have a centralized database of links pending review, and so that they can plan when to see them depending on their schedules. The app also lets users see other people's links (but won't let them edit or delete), and allows them to comment on the link.

BreadCrumbs

App that allows the users to search, read and comment Node guides to help them remember the main steps of buidilding a node application. The app will also let an admin user create, edit and delete guides (and steps inside those guides) to easily maintain the content of the guides.

Snake Game

Browser-based game that displays a 20x20 board on which the user can control the movement of a line of boxes (snake) by changing its direction with the keyboard arrow keys to prevent the edges of the snake from going over the borders of the board. The board will also radomly add "food" to any box on the board so that the user con intersect it with the snake and win points.

Interests

DOE's Industrial Assesment Centers

The Department of Energy has over 31 Industrial Assessment Centers located in Universities accross the US. My first job in the engineering field was as an Undergraduate Research Assistant with the University of Miami team. They gave me the unique opportunity to work with Professors and Graduate Students conducting engineering analysis and reasearch that served the manufacturing industry by identifying opportunities for energy savings. This program is of great value for students looking to become engineers and private companies looking for savings or a smaller carbon footprint.
