Hi, I'm Juan Rizo — CS student focused on AI/ML, systems, and security

I build reliable, human‑centered software and love teaching what I learn. I’m bilingual (Spanish/English) and currently pursuing a B.A. in Computer Science at UC Berkeley (Dec 2026). I enjoy AI/ML, systems, and security — plus clean front‑end design tied to solid back‑end fundamentals.
