// about
Hi, I'm Jimena.
I'm a Software & AI Engineer with a passion for building software that solves real-world problems. My work spans AI applications, full-stack platforms, automation systems, and machine learning, combining strong engineering principles with practical business impact.
I've collaborated with startups, established businesses, and research teams to develop internal platforms, workflow automation, computer vision systems, and AI-powered applications. I'm currently contributing to an AI platform for the Costa Rican government and legal sector, focused on making legal information and institutional processes more accessible through intelligent technology. Outside of client work, I enjoy building ambitious engineering projects that explore AI systems, quantitative finance, computer vision, and production-scale software architecture.
