Devin Alvarez

Full-Stack Web Developer

From idea to deployment, and everything in between.

Currently: Looking for a partner or team for my Spring 2027 Senior Project.

About

I'm a computer science senior at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley in Edinburg, Texas, graduating in May 2027. I enjoy turning ideas into useful apps, taking them all the way from a Figma mockup to a live website.

I've built projects solo and on teams: full-stack web apps, a Django social app with a classmate, and class projects in Rust, Haskell, Java and C++. I like to plan before I build, with mockups, a data model and a clear scope, and then see it through to something that works.

I've picked up new tools as projects needed them: Node and Express, then Django, then React and Next.js. I speak English and Spanish.

Looking for a capstone partner or team

For the Senior Project in Spring 2027, I'd like to team up with a partner or join a group that needs a web developer. Web development is my strong suit, so I'm happy to take on the full-stack side of whatever we build. The exact idea is open.

I'd love to hear your ideas, and we can pick something everyone wants to build. A few areas that interest me:

Web
  • Full-stack web development
  • Frontend development (React, Next.js, TypeScript)
  • Backend development and APIs
  • Progressive web apps and mobile-first design
  • Real-time features and notifications
  • Browser extensions
AI
  • AI integration in web apps
  • Large language models (LLMs) and AI chatbots
  • AI agents and tool use
  • Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
  • Computer vision
Data and infrastructure
  • Databases and data modeling (PostgreSQL)
  • Web scraping and data pipelines
  • Cloud deployment and DevOps (Vercel, CI/CD)
  • Software testing and quality
Community impact
  • Technology for nonprofits and community impact
What I bring
I've built web apps solo and on teams, from a Django social app with a classmate to a full-stack app real users log into, with push notifications, offline support and automated tests. I like having a clear plan from the start and seeing it through to something that works.
Who I'm looking for
A reliable partner, or a group that could use a web developer, who enjoys building things. Whatever we make could grow into a real product people use, or stay a solid class project. Either works for me. I'll show up, do my part and communicate, and I'm hoping for the same.

Ideally, we can team up before the semester ends on December 10, then plan over the break and hit the ground running in January.
