Hi, my name is
Manuel Rosales
Software Engineering student at Florida Gulf Coast University with a passion for blending design and code. I build beautiful, functional digital experiences that make an impact.
About Me
I'm a Software Engineering student at Florida Gulf Coast University with a background in design from the Design and Architecture Senior High. My journey bridges the gap between creative design and technical development, allowing me to build solutions that are both beautiful and functional.
With professional experience in graphic design, brand identity, and web development, I bring a unique perspective to every project. I'm currently building my foundation in languages like Python, C++, and Java through my coursework while leveraging my strong front-end and design skills in real-world projects.
I'm comfortable working across Windows, Linux, and macOS, and I'm proficient in working with AI agents, LLMs, and MCP servers to accelerate development workflows. I also have hands-on experience with cloud hosting and self-hosting through platforms like AWS and Vercel.
I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, and when I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring 3D rendering, photography, AI, and video editing.
