Adan Rojas

Aspiring Software Engineer with a passion for AI Agents, MCPs, and Full-Stack Development · Oviedo, FL

I'm passionate about crafting elegant, efficient web solutions that feel as good to use as they are to build.

I enjoy turning complex ideas into clean, intuitive experiences. Alongside web development, I'm actively exploring machine learning and quantitative research. These fields I'm just beginning to dive into, driven by curiosity and a desire to understand how data, models, and mathematics can power smarter systems.

This minimalist portfolio reflects how I think and work: focused, intentional, and always evolving, where creativity meets functionality and learning never stops.

This is where I teach UI/UX to Knight Hacks members. Knight Hacks is awesome, you should join!

In this role, I get to share my passion for UI/UX design by leading workshops for Knight Hacks members, and honestly, one of the best parts is pushing myself outside my comfort zone through public speaking. Every workshop is a chance to grow while teaching others about design principles, tools, and best practices. I love creating presentations and hands-on activities that make user-centered design click for people. Beyond the workshops, I work one-on-one with members on their projects, giving feedback and guidance to help their designs shine. I also team up with other instructors to build out a curriculum that gives our members real, practical skills they can actually use in the field. It's rewarding to see people develop their design thinking while I develop my own confidence in front of a room.
