Hi, I'm Ruben.

I’m a graduate from the University of Houston with a B.S in Computer Science and a B.S in Mathematics, I thrive on facing evolving challenges that require innovative and cost-efficient solutions.

Individually and within a team, I’ve worked on numerous projects ranging from robotics, games, websites, and medical equipment; as a result, I’ve learned to design and implement software based on technical requirements set up by the stakeholder. In addition, I take great strides to learn and apply new skills to develop innovative solutions to solve complex challenges.

At heart, I’m a passionate problem solver who find greats thrill in meeting challenges that require thinking outside of the box. When I’m not busy trying to solve a problem, I’m growing and learning new skills like a new methodology, programming language, or even a spoken language. There is no limit to what fascinates me, there is an entire world full of new experiences and techniques to learn.

Stock Machine Project

The Stock Machine Project was jointly developed with a fellow peer with the intention to develop a tool that could calculate the net asset value of a User’s stocks. Given a text file, the program would read from the file and utilize the Yahoo Finance API (Discontinued) to discern the current market value of certain stocks. Subsequently, it would then calculate the net asset value of a User’s stocks and promptly relay said information.
