Results-driven and perpetually curious, I am a computer science student with a foundation built on
hands-on leadership, team collaboration, and a relentless drive to solve problems with technology.
Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at Western Governors University,
I bring a unique blend of technical skill and real-world experience leading teams in demanding, fast-paced environments.
My goal is to contribute to high-impact engineering teams — ultimately targeting roles at world-class technology organizations
where innovation and collaboration define the culture. I thrive when learning something new and building something meaningful alongside others.
What I love about AWS is how the pieces click together — one cloud, the right tool for each job.
I’ve wired S3 + CloudFront + Route 53 + ACM for static hosting (this very site),
stood a full-stack app up on EC2 behind CloudFront (my Valorant coach at rebuy.gg), and built
serverless AI agents on Lambda + EventBridge + Bedrock and real-time apps on AppSync + Amplify.

Skills Overview

A summary of my current technical proficiency across key areas of software development.
lablab.ai Hackathon — Solo Builder | Transforming Enterprise Through AI
Built solo during lablab.ai's "Transforming Enterprise Through AI" hackathon,
CeREbrus is an enterprise retail intelligence platform powered by Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK)
and Gemini. It orchestrates three specialized AI agents — Knowledge Guardian,
Customer Intel, and Synthesis — coordinated by a dedicated
Governance agent that enforces compliance and oversight across every decision.
I designed the full multi-agent architecture, built the Python backend, and
deployed it live during the competition via a Cloudflare Tunnel —
taking it from concept to a publicly reachable demo inside the hackathon window.

This one is personal. I've been a ranked Valorant player for years, and the coaching tools
on the market obsess over aim and game sense while ignoring the part that actually wins matches — the
mental game. So I built the tool I wanted to exist, and shipped it. Search a Riot ID and it pulls
your recent matches, then surfaces tilt patterns, loss-streak triggers, and personalized reads
across four tools — a stats Dashboard, Performance Analysis, an AI Mental Coach, and a
RAG-backed Meta Q&A.
It's a full-stack app — a React front end on a Python / FastAPI backend — that
integrates the Henrik (Valorant) API for match data and the Claude API for
context-aware coaching, with a vector database powering Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
so the advice stays grounded in the player's own history. It runs live on AWS — an EC2
instance behind CloudFront (CDN + HTTPS), with an ACM certificate and Route 53 DNS.

Undercurrent — Real-Time Team Morale as a Living River
AWS Builder Center — Full Stack Challenge (prompt: “CURRENT”) · Solo, ~24 hours
A team-morale app where the team is the weather. Everyone drops one anonymous mood ping a day; the pings
aggregate into a living river — calm and sunny through storm and rapids — that every teammate
watches change in real time. The thesis: shorten the distance between when a team starts
struggling and when its lead finds out.
Built solo in ~24 hours on AWS Amplify Gen 2 (Cognito, AppSync +
DynamoDB, Lambda): a Lambda on the ping stream recomputes one authoritative weather state and pushes it to every
open browser via AppSync subscriptions, and Amazon Bedrock (Claude Haiku 4.5)
writes the lead a weekly “current report.” The river itself is hand-drawn on Canvas 2D — no game engine, no art assets.
Signalcraft — An Autonomous Nightly Agent (Scrap the Robot)
AWS Builder Center — Weekend Creative Agent Challenge 2026 · Solo, one weekend
A group adopts Scrap, a salvaged robot who runs on signal: every honest daily check-in
keeps him powered. Overnight, while nobody's watching, an autonomous agent writes a short log
entry in his voice, waiting for the team by morning. The design constraint is the whole idea — Scrap is powered
by honesty, not happiness: a terrible day powers him exactly as much as a great one; he only sleeps when no one shows up.
Built solo in one weekend, end-to-end on AWS serverless: React + Vite on
Amplify Hosting, Amplify Gen 2 (Cognito, AppSync + DynamoDB with live
subscriptions), a Lambda on the data stream computing Scrap's power state, and an
EventBridge Scheduler waking a Python Lambda that calls Amazon Bedrock
(Claude Haiku 4.5) to write each night's entry.
Hackathon Project — VibraATL @ Georgia State University · Where it started
This is the one that started it all. Built at the VibraATL hackathon, DineroClaro is a bilingual
financial-literacy chatbot aimed at empowering Atlanta's underserved Hispanic community —
plain-language guidance on spending, cash flow, and core financial concepts, in the language people actually think
in. On paper it was “just a chatbot.” In practice, it flipped a switch.
It was my first real spark: watching an AI turn a weekend idea into something that could genuinely
help real people convinced me that AI is an extraordinarily powerful thing to build with. It also taught me
the exact opposite lesson — that leaning on AI without solid fundamentals only carries you so far.
That tension set my direction ever since: build ambitiously with AI, and reinforce the CS fundamentals underneath it every step of the way.
Stack: Expo (React Native), TypeScript, Python service layer, REST APIs, an AI chat module
Clean separation of concerns — dedicated app/, backend/, database/, services/, and ai/ layers
The realization that shaped my path: AI as a force multiplier, fundamentals as the foundation
Personal Portfolio Website — Multi-Page Static Site
Academic Project — Western Governors University (B.S. Computer Science)
Designed and developed this portfolio site from scratch as the capstone for WGU's Web Development
coursework. The brief required a frameworkless build — pure HTML, CSS, and JavaScript only —
to demonstrate fluency with semantic markup, hand-written CSS architecture, and native DOM scripting rather
than relying on modern tooling.
The site is structured around three interconnected pages (Résumé, Cover Letter, Career Goals)
sharing a single external stylesheet, and includes dynamic content (a JavaScript-populated "last updated" date),
a form with validation, and embedded local media — all without a build step.
Stack: HTML5, CSS3, vanilla JavaScript, Google Fonts — no frameworks, no build tools
Three interconnected pages sharing a single master.css stylesheet, plus an interactive “Sergio’s World” build
Demonstrates semantic markup, advanced CSS selectors, responsive layout, and native DOM manipulation
