Diego De Salas

Hi! I'm a college student working on a double degree in Computer Engineering and Business Administration. I have experience coding in Java (especially OOP) and recently got into frontend development. Through my Business Administration studies, I've developed a solid foundation in management, economics, and organizational strategy. People would describe me as responsible, polite, and open-minded. Also, I'm bilingual in Spanish and English, which helps me connect with more people and projects.

Projects

Finsaver - Finance

Finsaver was born from the idea of learning new skills and putting my knowledge to the test. Finsaver is an app created to make tracking spending and saving money easier, especially for those who don't have much financial knowledge. It's developed in Java (OOP) and JavaFX for the UX/UI. This work has definitely helped me prove my skills and confront real problems that appear in the development of a project.

Finsaver - Database

After developing Finsaver, I realized that I had to store the transactions, clients, expenses, etc., which is why I decided to learn SQL. This database is developed in MySQL, which is a nice working environment for such a small project. Because of this, my database skills have progressed considerably, although there's still a lot to learn.
