ABOUT J ALEXANDER MELENDEZ

As a promoter of digital transformation, my primary goal is to leverage technology to create a positive impact on society. With a deep-rooted commitment to social responsibility and a relentless pursuit of innovation, I am driven to explore novel avenues that enhance the well-being of individuals in my community. By harnessing my expertise and passion for advancement, I aspire to contribute to an organization that values growth and meaningful change. Drawing from my extensive experience in development and expertise in GIS, I possess the confidence to bring immense value to any team and deliver outstanding outcomes. Embracing a dynamic and challenging environment, I eagerly seek opportunities to continuously expand my knowledge, cultivate my skills, and make a lasting difference. I am a skilled web developer with over 10 years of experience in open-source technologies, including LAMP stack, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, and CSS. My background includes a Bachelor\'s degree in Computational Systems Engineering and a Master\'s degree in Spatial Analysis and Geoinformatics. I am passionate about digital interoperability and have experience in business idea validation, logic frame methodology, and strategic planning. My technical skills include: PHP (Laravel), Apache/Nginx, MySQL/PostgreSQL+PostGIS, Javascript/NodeJS, jQuery, VueJS, Node JS, Bash scripting, Linux, Git, and Github. I am a strong team player with excellent analytical and leadership skills. I\'ve been mentoring undergrad tech students since 2019, teaching them about software industry methodologies, tips, and hints and rising social awareness among them. I am always looking for new opportunities to grow and learn in wide variety of topics in my field. More about me: Technology has been part of my life since I was a child, I used to play and beat earliest videogames in those Texas Instrument\'s keybords that were plugged into TVs when I was 2 or 3 years old. My first experience in programming was at 8, coding basic math problem solvers in QBasic and MS-DOS to reduce my homework time. From then and on, I\'ve been always related to tech positions in private and public organizations. I believe that there\'s a lot of work to do to improve our local government efficieny and rise our citizen\'s quality of life.
