Hello, World! 👋
I'm Alan Villagrand, a computer science student at Baylor University and software engineering intern at BIP. Skilled in C++, Rust, Java, and Python, with a strong foundation in networking, operating systems, and scalable software design. While my expertise lies in backend development, I also have experience in developing frontend applications, including this website!
Outside of academics and work, I enjoy taking on side projects that challenge me to learn something new. Whether that's experimenting with a new language, exploring a programming concept, or building tools that solve real problems, I'm always looking for opportunities to grow as an engineer and take on challenging, yet impactful work.
