Alejandro Mora‑Lopez

Software Engineer

I design user-centric websites that balance aesthetics and functionality.

About Me

From a young age, I've had a fascination with web development and the idea of writing code to bring ideas to life on a screen. This interest of mine really took off during a Software Engineering course I took at Cal Poly Pomona, where I built a full-stack application as a final project, and I haven't looked back since.

This project gave me my first hands-on experience with managing both frontend and backend code. While challenging to build, it was rewarding to see the final product come to life. Now, I focus on and enjoy building responsive, visually appealing, and intuitive web applications.

I enjoy working with Next.js and using its powerful features to create great user experiences. Alongside that, I have experience using React, Node, and both SQL and NoSQL databases to build robust full-stack applications.

Aside from that, I am a huge fan of the Los  Angeles  Lakers and have been one my whole life. The only time I've caught a game in person ended in a loss, but the experience was great either way! I'm due for a win next time!
