About Me

I’m a linguist turned coder with a PhD in Linguistics.

I build lightweight tools with Python, Flask, and rule-based NLP that turn everyday language into something usable for insight, communication, and automation. I also work with front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and integrate APIs to connect data and applications. I can design, document, and code in English or Spanish.

You can also explore my writing page for reflections on language and code, academic publications, and applied research.
