01 — About

A little about me.

Josue Almaraz headshot

DeKalb, Illinois

I'm a computer science student at Northern Illinois University focused on full-stack development and building clean, responsive interfaces. I enjoy turning ideas into real projects and continuing to strengthen my fundamentals through hands-on development.

Right now I'm going deeper on full-stack and cloud engineering — React, and AWS — with a focus on shipping clean, maintainable systems.

Currently interning as a Cloud Engineer at Group Eloria, working hands-on with AWS infrastructure and shipping things end-to-end.

Outside of code, I'm usually running or lifting, staying active keeps me sharp and is a big part of how I recharge.

Training, in motion.

When I'm not shipping code, I'm usually running or lifting. Here's a live look at what training has looked like lately — pulled straight from Strava.
