Resume

Jesus M. Rodriguez
I am a computer science graduate focused on building intelligent, interactive systems that bridge software and physical hardware. My experience spans embedded systems, full-stack development, and game and simulation environments, with a long-term goal of working in robotics and themed entertainment. I am drawn to complex systems where engineering rigor, user interaction, and creative design intersect, and I enjoy contributing across the full stack—from low-level device control to polished, user-facing experiences.
