I'm Alejandro Padilla, a Computer Science student from Ecuador studying at the Universidad Nacional de Loja.

I'm building strong foundations to grow as a backend and full-stack developer, with interest in real projects, maintainable code, databases, deployment, and continuous learning.

• 🎯 Looking for a remote programming internship or first junior remote opportunity
• 🧠 Focused on fundamentals: programming, data structures, SQL, Git, Docker and deployment
• 🌱 Currently learning TypeScript, React, Next.js, APIs and PostgreSQL
• 🌎 English level: B1, able to read technical documentation and communicate basic ideas
• ⚡ Mindset: build solid foundations first, then build real products
