hi, I'm Oscar

Profile picture

full-stack web developer specializing in backend development, content creator, low level programmer. nvim & arch user

I've just finished up a data science research program (hosted by The Coding School), and I'm starting college at the University of Mary Washington (UMW)! I'm also coaching on a local youth mountain biking team about 3 times a week.

Outside of that, I'm working on Tortillas, a library/TUI for asynchronous torrenting, made entirely in Rust. If you're curious, you can take a look at it here.

My second most recent (major) project is byeAI, a developer content creation site that completely disallows AI generated or assisted content. It's built from scratch with React, Django, Nginx, and Docker. Check it out!

Hey! If you want to know more about me personally, check this out!

I started my formal education with Harvard's CS50 when I was 15, which gave me a proper starting point for software development. I began with Non-Profit Link, a web application for the non-profits in my area, now used by dog shelters in South Africa. I then created RDI (React-Django-Implementation), which I used to help create byeAI, a blogging site for developers that strictly disallows AI generated content.

I've spent the last 4 months working on Tortillas, an asynchronous and concurrent torrenting library/TUI.

In terms of academics, I've taken 4 dual enrollment IT classes (all CompTIA based) as well as 4 AP classes, only in the last two years of highschool. I scored a 5 on AP Calc AB, AP Computer Science A, and AP Computer Science Principles.

There's a lot that I didn't mention! If you'd like to know more, check out my brag doc.

content creation

As I mentioned in the projects section, I run and manage a YouTube channel. I also create similar content in the form of blogs on Dev.to (although I may consider posting a few of them on this site).

by the way...

I've been featured in Dev.to's "Top 7 Posts of the week" 5 times, and I'm also an active community moderator.

mountainbiking

I've been mountain biking since I was 4 years old, and racing since I was 6. Since then, I've participated in multiple interscholastic teams, even helping to start one locally when I was 14. My final high school races occured in the spring of 2025, but I'll continue my mountainbiking career well past highschool.

teaching

Teaching is a strong passion of mine. I spend 3 nights a week acting as a coach for the next generation of youth riders on the team that I helped create. I usually work with our high school race-focused group, but I'm always happy to help wherever I'm needed. Additionally, I've spent a great deal of time tutoring and learning how to optimally teach. I spent nearly every day during my senior high school year either working with students in Algebra I, Algebra II, and Trigonometry, or refining my teaching skills. I've also privately tutored students online, creating lesson plans and curating practice problems.

sim racing

I really like cars. Consequently, I spend a lot of my free time racing/driving virtually. I own a G923 racing wheel (nothing fancy, but I'm not complaining!) and play Assetto Corsa, BeamNG Drive, Dirt Rally 2.0, and more! Here's a short clip of me "rallying" a Porsche 911 Weissach on an Assetto Corsa touge map (look at that beautiful slide @ 0:20).
