About Me

Systems, Software, and Infrastructure

I'm Jose Barrera, a Computer Science graduate with experience in software development and electric utility design. My work so far has exposed me to software, data, technical documentation, infrastructure, and real-world engineering workflows.

I'm most interested in systems and technical operations. I enjoy understanding how different pieces fit together, troubleshooting problems, and learning how software, infrastructure, and other technical systems interact.

I value teams where people share knowledge, learn from one another, and have the autonomy to take ownership of their work. Growth matters a lot to me, especially at this stage of my career.
