Sebastian Jara

I am a Full-Stack Developer and Artificial Intelligence Engineering student based in Mexico City, driven by a passion for building intelligent, user-centric applications that solve real-world problems. Currently pursuing my B.S. at the Escuela Superior de Cómputo (ESCOM - IPN), my technical foundation was established early on during my time as a Technician in Programming at CECyT No. 9.  

My development philosophy centers on creating platforms that leave a positive, measurable impact—whether in education, mental health, or sustainability. For instance, I developed LearnQuest, a gamified e-learning platform utilizing Next.js, React, and TypeScript. By engineering a comprehensive gamification system with XP, streaks, and a spaced repetition (SM-2) engine, I aimed to make studying for crucial milestones both engaging and highly effective. I also ensured secure, cross-device progress tracking by integrating Google OAuth and Supabase with Row Level Security.  

Beyond educational technology, I am deeply committed to applying AI for social good. I built MindfulSpace, a Progressive Web App focused on mental wellness, where I integrated the Gemini API to power an intelligent chatbot capable of real-time sentiment analysis and conversational support. Previously, my work on Uxersii—a Full-Stack Django and React application—tackled the critical issue of food waste in Mexico City. By implementing an AI model for food detection and optimizing distribution algorithms, the platform successfully reduced waste by up to 25% in targeted zones, an achievement that earned third place nationally for technological prototypes with social impact
