2025: A year of solving real problems

Beyond exams and deadlines, 2025 at #UADE was a turning point in my professional development. It wasn’t just about passing (some lol) courses, but building and deploying real-world solutions focused on Clean Code, design patterns, microservices, and scalable architectures.

FEATURED PROJECTS:

🌻 House Plants: We designed a comprehensive tool for garden management, featuring smart watering reminders, soil replacement alerts, and an analysis module for pest and fungus detection.

🏔️ Amancay: An e-commerce platform for outdoor equipment. Built against the clock, it taught us the core of FullStack development, resilience and teamwork. Special thanks to the professor for her organized, patient mentorship that truly left a mark.

🎮 E-Scrim Matchmaking: An Esports tournament management system. We addressed matchmaking strategies (latency/rank), integrated Apache Kafka for asynchronous messaging, and generated behavior reports.

🚛 EcoEnvios: A logistics system solving transport challenges using "pure" algorithms. We applied Dijkstra for optimal routing, Dynamic Programming/Knapsack variants to optimize cargo space, and Backtracking for complex delivery constraints.

TECH STACK:

Backend: Java | Spring Boot | Hibernate | Kafka | SMTP
Frontend: React.js | Redux | React Router
Data: MongoDB | Cassandra | Redis | Neo4j | MySQL
Infra: AWS | TCP/IP | UDP | SNMP | Network Design

Thanks to the professors for raising the bar and shaping us into professionals, and to my teammates for the late nights, debugging marathons, and the rushed lunches filled with debate, strategy and growth.

From 2025 at UADE, I’m taking away the ability to understand the "why" behind every technical decision and the judgment to know when and how to use each tool. But above all, I’ve confirmed that great challenges are simplified with a communicative team motivated to keep growing.

How was your year? What tech is on your radar for 2026? Let me know! 😊
