Hey, I'm Xchel! 👋
Sometimes I make stupid shit.

About me

I graduated at the end of 2021 and immediately took a whole semester off (shoutout to Valorant, Xenoblade, Monster Hunter, and Halo) before starting my full-time position at Capital One, where I had interned the prior summer. Originally coming in exclusively as a back-end developer, I ended doing a whole lot of front-end in my roles, getting sucked into all the intricacies of it... and now I'm completely pivoting to a more flexible full-stack role.

I've worked on a couple things over the years. Some personal projects, others from work, and a few from university.

AI Dealer Website Chat

AI Dealer Website Chat

Riot Beggar Bot

Riot Beggar Bot

Created a Python script that autoruns every 24 hours to send a direct (and randomized) message to the @PlayValorant account to annoy the ever-living crap out of their social media team until they add another Nunca Olvidados bundle.

Python
Raspberry Pi
Twitter API
Graphics Rasterizer

Graphics Rasterizer

Developed a software rasterization engine in C++, capable of rendering 3D models using custom implementations of transformations, shading, and z-buffering. Genuinely one of the few projects where I had a massive lightbulb moment and realized that I actually loved coding stuff.
