Portrait of Alex Almanza

Hey, I'm Alex!

I am a Software Engineer with a passion for learning, creating, and helping. I fell in love with code and computers when I was around 13, a time where I created plugins for Minecraft servers, a file-based instant messenger app, and many simple (but fun) Java programs.


Since I started university at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, I became fascinated with software engineering and upcoming technologies. I dream to learn more about the world, connect with others, and develop innovative solutions to modern problems.
