David Pérez Zapata Email & Phone Number

Hi!I'm David Pérez. Book eater, amateur photographer, origami lover, tech enthusiast, and Systems and Informatics Engineer from National University of Colombia.My passions were always related to video games, technology, literature, modern physics, photography and crafts. So that’s why my hobbies include going outside with my camera to take some photos, playing video games (and for some time learning to make them), read fantasy/science-fiction books, doing origami, and watching some anime, series and movies.Currently, I am studying a lot of stuff from diverse areas, some are Software Development via React, FastAPI, Docker, and Kubernetes; Data Engineering fundamentals, and a bit of Computer Vision, all of them through online courses, books, and from my friends and colleagues. I enjoy interacting with new people to learn from them, particularly in terms of how to communicate and how they view my ideas to get a different perspective. This helps me improve my social skills and facilitates personal and professional growth.I consider myself a good part of a team, as I tend to be attentive to all of the moving parts and progress being made within it, keeping an eye and staying in touch with everyone. I sometimes lean towards leadership, and I like to think that I'm not bad at it, but that's a skill that I keep building every day.Throughout my studies and experience I’ve learned and worked with some languages and tools like:- Programming languages: Python, JavaScript (ES6) and TypeScript, Java, C#.- Software development with React and FastAPI. Frontend styling libraries: MaterialUI and Bulma. State and query management libraries: Zustand, react-query.- Cloud and CI/CD tools like Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform.- GitHub as versioning control tool with best practices knowledge (rebase, rewrite history, amend commits, reference logs, repository templates and configuration files).- Game development with Unity.- DBMS like Oracle, PostgreSQL and MongoDB.- Some Design patterns: Factory, observer, decorator, adapter, and strategy.- Low-code platforms for web-apps like Retool.
