Denilson15/README.md

👋 Hi, I'm Gary Denilson Alvarado

I began my computer science journey in Summer 2024, completing my first course in C++. Just a month later, I stepped into teaching AP Computer Science Principles at the high school level. By the end of the year, 14 of my students had earned college credit in computer science, even as I continued building my own foundation in the field.

Since then, I’ve rapidly expanded my knowledge in C++, JavaScript, React, and functional programming with OCaml, while completing core CS and math coursework including:

  • Data Structures & Algorithms
  • OOP
  • Databases/SQL
  • Programming Language Concepts
  • Automata & Computation
  • Discrete Math

💻 What I'm Working On

  • Building frontend projects with React, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and exploring APIs
  • Strengthening my C++ and JavaScript skills through assignments, demos, and personal projects
  • Experimenting with AI-based projects by integrating APIs (e.g., language models, data-driven applications)
  • Learning backend fundamentals and preparing for advanced CS coursework
  • Documenting all projects with detailed READMEs

🛠️ Tech Stack

  • Languages: C++, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, React, OCaml, SQL
  • Tools: GitHub, VS Code, Netlify, Vite, Visual Studio
  • Learning: React, Firebase, Linux (UNIX), Assembly

🌱 My CS Journey

I originally earned my bachelor’s degree in Business, but in Summer 2024 I began formally studying computer science. In just over a year, I’ve gone from completing my first intro course to teaching AP CS Principles and finishing a wide range of CS fundamentals.

This fall (2025), I’m enrolled in:

  • Operating Systems
  • Intro to UNIX
  • Intro to Assembly
  • Statistics for Engineers

I’m on track to finish my associate’s in CS while completing master’s prerequisites, and I’ve already been admitted to a Master’s in Computer Science (AI/ML) program.

Along the way, I’ve pushed myself to learn React and build projects with API integrations, available here on my GitHub.

Even though I’m new to the field, I’ve shown the ability to learn quickly, understand fundamentals deeply, and apply them effectively.
