Hey, I'm

Mauro Flores

Backend Developer building secure, well-structured APIs and systems with Python and Flask — focused on authentication, data logic, and clean architecture. I also bring frontend experience with React and JavaScript, which helps me think across the full system. I build things that challenge me.

Philosophy

Building systems that solve real problems

I got into development because I've always been drawn to challenges — not just solving problems, but understanding them from the root to find the right solution. That's how I approach everything I build.

Before I write a single line of code, I research, structure, and think. I enjoy that part as much as the building itself.

I'm currently studying CS50 because I believe fundamentals matter — especially now, when AI makes it easy to skip them. I'm also starting to implement n8n as a personal automation tool, because I think productivity and automation are where the most interesting problems live right now.

I'm not just learning to code. I'm learning to build things that matter.

Life Beyond Code

Outside of programming, I enjoy simple routines that help me stay balanced, curious and connected with the world around me.

Nature & Camping

I enjoy camping, traveling and spending time in nature. Being outdoors with friends and family helps me disconnect, recharge and come back with a clearer mind.

Training & Mind

Running, gym training, yoga and meditation are part of my week routine. I also enjoy reading as a way to train my mind and stay curious.

Cooking

Cooking is one of my favorite ways to unwind. As a sushi chef, I enjoy preparing homemade meals and experimenting with dishes that connect me with different cultures.

Let's Connect

Open to backend roles, remote opportunities, and interesting projects. Let's talk.
