Hey, I'm Alejandro — I build things for the web
Hi, I’m Alejandro — a front-end developer passionate about crafting responsive, accessible websites that prioritize clarity and user experience. I currently work at Texas A&M, where I contribute to system-wide interface improvements using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
I’m always exploring better ways to bridge design and code, and I’m currently expanding my skills through The Odin Project. Whether I’m collaborating on large teams or building solo projects, I care deeply about thoughtful design, clear communication, and writing clean, maintainable code.

Texas A&M University Design System
(HTML, CSS, Sass, JavaScript, Storybook JS, PHP, WordPress, Site-Improve, Cascade CMS, WCAG Accessibility)
Contributed to a large-scale front-end redesign for the Texas A&M University System. Built responsive, accessible web components using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and helped implement a centralized design system via Storybook. Collaborated with designers and developers across teams to ensure consistency and usability across university websites.
Mood Tracker
(HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React JS)
This mood tracking app is a simple React-based tool that lets users log their mood, date, and an optional note. Entries are saved in localStorage so they persist between sessions, and users can view or clear their past moods. Through building this app, I learned core React concepts like useState, useRef, and useEffect, along with managing form inputs, structuring components, and handling user interaction. I also practiced persisting data locally and deploying a React app using GitHub Pages. This project gave me practical experience building a functional, interactive frontend application from scratch.
Hold this Moment
(HTML, CSS, Sass, JavaScript)
This AI crisis chat support site features a polished multi-stage splash screen animation built with CSS and JavaScript, providing users with an engaging and smooth introduction complete with a skip option. At its core, it integrates API calls to a powerful AI model, enabling a responsive crisis support chatbot that delivers real-time, empathetic assistance. The project showcases seamless integration of frontend animation, asynchronous API communication, and user-centered design to create a supportive and accessible online chat experience.

X-Wing Landing Page
(HTML, CSS, Sass, JavaScript)
This website was built for our local X-Wing Miniatures tabletop group as a central hub to organize events and stay connected. At its core is an interactive calendar powered by FullCalendar.js, which syncs directly with our shared Google Calendar. This allows players to easily view upcoming game nights, tournaments, and community gatherings in one place, with events updating in real time.
This project has been a fun way to combine my passion for the X-Wing Miniatures Game with my growing skills in front-end web development, giving our group a practical tool for coordination while letting me gain hands-on experience working with APIs and dynamic JavaScript components.
