>_Hello World, I'm Rene Alzina!

I'm dedicated to build cool things and make meaningful projects

About Me

I'm a passionate junior computer science student from the University of Notre Dame graduating May 2027. I am also minoring in Engineering Corporate Practice. I am very interested in web development, data science, and computer networking. I have pursued multiple projects in these areas whether by my own, in classes, clubs, or as research with Notre Dame.

I also have multiple leadership roles as the President of the Data Club of Notre Dame and the Professional Development Chair in the Society of Latino Engineers.

I am from Calexico, California, a small border town in the border with Mexico. My first language was Spanish, and I love to express my culture and the way that it has shaped my perspectives, my approach to relationships with others, and my work ethic. I strive to bring a unique perspective to every project I work on, combining technical skills with cultural awareness and a strong sense of collaboration.

In my free time, I enjoy running, playing guitar, listening to music, spending time with friends, and obvioulsy coding!
