Get to Know Me!

My name is Yvanna Cardenas Beltran. I am a computer science student enrolled in the University of California, San Diego, class of June 2026. I seek technology skills because of my urge to solve problems, work well in a team, and develop functional solutions that offer a voice to the community.

I have a strong foundation in software development. And I have further strengthened my skills with courses in data structures, algorithms, computer architecture, and real-world projects. For instance, I created a space-themed, interactive Developer Journal web app for users to organize tasks and reflect on their development. I also built an entertainment recommender app with Flask, AWS, and OpenAI to enhance decision-making. These projects have deepened my technical expertise and strengthened my ability to deliver user- centered solutions.

Beyond coding, I thrive in genuinely collaborative environments where we share ideas, face challenges as a team, and innovation is made alive. I pride myself on my communication, empathy, and the positivity I can add to any team. I provide strong relationships and a people-first approach, which are as crucial to success as technical skills.

I am passionate about using technology to create impact. Whether through tools to improve everyday living or systems that attempt to solve critical challenges, I aim to build impactful solutions. I’m always keen to learn and grow in projects that espouse innovation, inclusivity, and community. My values align with those values.
