Juan P. Hernandez
Full-stack developer, visual storyteller, and perpetual learner exploring the infinite space of possibilities within code, creativity, and community. Building tomorrow's experiences through collaboration and innovation.
About Me
I'm Juan, a full-stack developer, creative thinker, and perpetual learner who thrives at the intersection of code and storytelling. Whether I'm designing seamless web and mobile experiences, leading collaborative projects, or capturing high-impact visuals, I bring curiosity, precision, and energy to everything I create.
Right now, I'm building a platform to help street food vendors thrive in the digital age by giving them the tools to compete and grow. My journey started at PCTI studying computer science in high school, then continued at NYIT in Manhattan, but the best education has come from doing. From picking up Portuguese in a year to recovering from a full ACL tear, I push boundaries and embrace the challenges that life brings.
Outside of code, I run my own video production brand, continuing my grandfather's photography legacy from Mexico. I've filmed luxury properties, drift competitions, and intimate celebrations while always aiming to tell compelling stories through the lens. Film, photography, music, sports, coding... I'm a jack of all trades who finds beauty in mastering diverse skills. I thrive in environments where people dream big and execute with heart. I believe great ideas come to life when smart minds work together.
