Guillermo Barreto · Amazon IT · Software Engineering @ WGU
I work in IT at Amazon and study Software Engineering at WGU. Outside of work, I build full-stack and backend projects to strengthen my skills in APIs, cloud systems, testing, and software design.
Open to Software Engineering Opportunities
01 / Selected projects
I use each project to explore a specific problem, practice technical decisions, and understand how the pieces fit together.
An interactive satellite and near-Earth monitoring project I use to explore data visualization, APIs, orbital data, and full-stack development.
A React + TypeScript personal-finance project for tracking monthly income, expenses, and cash flow.
A FastAPI URL-shortening project I use to practice backend development, API design, redirects, and basic analytics.
An open-source civic technology project exploring how communities could report and visualize public issues and humanitarian needs.
02 / Experience & education
Amazon IT gives me hands-on experience with troubleshooting, reliability, users, and real operational pressure. WGU and my projects are helping me turn those lessons into software engineering skills.
