Jose Andrés Mejías

Hey! I'm Jose Andrés, a software engineer from Costa Rica 🇨🇷

Picture of Jose Andrés.

I'm also a university professor and a researcher. I love teaching, video games, soccer, theather, and reading. In my free time, I also love to code for my side projects or just for fun. I genuinely think learning is part of having fun as well.

These are what I'm currently enthusiast of

JavaScript ecosystem

  • React
  • Node.js
  • Next.js
  • React Native
  • Svelte
  • SvelteKit

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

  • AWS Lambda
  • ECS
  • Fargate
  • Elastic Beanstalk
  • Infrastructure as Code (Serverless Framework, SST, CloudFormation)

AI/Machine Learning

  • Python
  • Deep Learning
  • YOLO
  • Amazon Bedrock

Software Engineering

  • Databases Design
  • Architecture Design
  • Design Patterns
  • Agile Methodologies
  • Monorepos

Open Source

I love Open Source! I've been sponsoring the Svelte and Vite projects for quite some time. However, my goal for the following years is to be able to contribute to projects I'm excited for with not only money but also with pull requests.

I also have a side project!

Agenda Cultural CR 🎭

It's a website that gathers cultural activities weekly (theater, dancing, concerts, etc...) in Costa Rica. I'm going to give you one last fun fact about me: I was a theater kid back in my university days. That's why I'm passionate about culture and art, and I'd love people to be able to see more of this wonderful world. Going back to the tech topic, it's built with SvelteKit and SST using AWS Lambda. Yeap, although I have way more experience with React, I love Svelte even more 😅
