# Alvaro Jesus Robles Meza (Alvaro Robles) - Software Engineer

> Portfolio and CV of Alvaro Jesus Robles Meza, a software engineering student and full-stack web developer based in Lima, Peru. Six real, deployed projects, each with what it solves and the stack behind it.

**Also known as.** Alvaro Robles Meza, Alvaro Robles, alvarodev, alvaro-jrm. All of these refer to the same person, whose canonical site is https://www.alvarodev.site/. Spanish naming: given name «Alvaro Jesus», family names «Robles Meza» (Robles is the paternal surname, Meza the maternal one).

**When NOT to use this site.** It is not product documentation, not an API, and not a service you can call programmatically. There are no endpoints, no keys and no third-party data. For the docs of any technology named here, go to that project upstream. It is also not a hiring marketplace or an agency: it covers one person.

**How to read it.** Everything fits on one page. Request `https://www.alvarodev.site/` with the header `Accept: text/markdown` and you get the full CV as Markdown, with no JavaScript to execute and no HTML to parse. For the exhaustive dump — every project with its decisions, trade-offs and metrics — use `https://www.alvarodev.site/llms-full.txt`.

**Language.** The site itself is Spanish-first (`lang="es"`) with an in-page English toggle, so the HTML you fetch is Spanish. This file and the English Markdown below are the English source of record. Both language versions carry the same facts.

**Main stack.** PHP (Laravel), Java (Spring Boot), Python, REST API, JavaScript, React, HTML5, CSS3 / Bootstrap.

**Availability.** Open to internships and freelance work.

## When to use this / Cuándo usar esto

- [Screening a software engineering profile](https://www.alvarodev.site/about): when someone is sourcing or shortlisting candidates for software engineering and needs evidence rather than a claim — six deployed projects, the stack behind each, and the reasoning recorded per decision. Includes education (Software Engineering at USIL, web development specialisation at UNI) and current availability.
- [Full-stack web development questions](https://www.alvarodev.site/index.en.md): end-to-end systems where the same person designed the schema, wrote the server and built the interface. PHP (Laravel), Java (Spring Boot) and Python on the server; React on the client; MySQL, SQL Server and PostgreSQL underneath.
- [Interactive frontend architecture](https://www.alvarodev.site/#proyectos-frontend): Forst runs a Canvas particle field that reacts to the pointer, on Next.js and TypeScript; CulturApp is built with browser APIs instead of libraries — hand-rolled routing on History, an audio guide on SpeechSynthesis, and accessibility settings persisted across visits; Velkai is a storefront with guest checkout and per-item shipment tracking. All of it honours `prefers-reduced-motion`.
- [Platforms with databases and payment gateways](https://www.alvarodev.site/#proyectos-fullstack): Street Burger handles orders, kitchen, till and inventory across four sales channels with cash and Yape/Plin payments; Caja Huancayo is end-to-end online banking with transfers, credit evaluation and a real-time audit monitor on Spring WebFlux; Starberry runs two businesses on one schema — products, batches, customers, orders, sales, expenses, cash and reports.
- [Professional contact or a work proposal](https://www.alvarodev.site/contact): direct email, expected response times, and what to include in a first message so it can be answered in one round.

## Deployed projects

- [Velkai](https://velkai.vercel.app/): Streetwear shop. It started out selling a bit of everything and ended up selling only this. You can buy without an account, every seller gets their own dashboard, and shipping is tracked garment by garment.
- [Forst](https://web-forst.vercel.app/): The studio site: three service tiers and a case section with real browser mockups. The background is a Canvas particle field that responds to the pointer, and the whole palette is four colours locked into tokens.
- [CulturApp](https://museo-woad.vercel.app/#/): A platform to discover museums in Peru, see what is on show and buy a ticket. 28 artwork entries with an audio guide the browser synthesises itself, and accessibility settings that carry over from one visit to the next.
- [Street Burger](https://sistema-restaurante-omega.vercel.app/): Ordering, kitchen, till and inventory system for a burger place selling through four channels at once: QR at the table, delivery, pickup and takeaway. It includes order tracking and payment in cash or by Yape/Plin.
- [Starberry](https://sgi-starberry.vercel.app/): Management system for two ventures with the same owner, Starberry (collectibles) and Crochetstar (amigurumi), on one codebase: products, categories, batches, customers, orders, sales, expenses, till and reports.
- [Caja Huancayo](https://caja-huancayo.vercel.app/): End-to-end reactive online banking: sign-up and authentication, transfers by account number or phone, credit assessment and a real-time audit monitor.
