About Rick Fuentes

I’m a detail-oriented and pragmatic aspiring software developer with a passion for problem-solving. My experience comes from a diverse range of academic projects where I’ve worked primarily with Java, Android development, databases, web technologies, and performance analysis tools like Jenkins and Power BI. I enjoy optimizing systems, integrating APIs, and exploring the practical uses of analysis software to make sound business decisions.

On a personal level, in 2011 I moved to Florida from my homeland of Puerto Rico in pursuit of opportunity. Since then I've certainly gotten more than I bargained for! With a variety of professional roles in photography, retail, entertainment sales, multimedia management, and transportation logistics - I've finally landed on a field I'm both passionate about and makes a real difference in how we live our lives.

As I transition into the professional tech space, I’m eager to apply my skills in practical settings while continuing to learn and refine my approach to software engineering. Feel free to explore my portfolio, where I showcase my work and the problem-solving mindset behind each project.
