Hey there, my name is Allen, Im a student at Barrett the Honors College at Arizona State Univeristy. I'm currently studying Applied Computing and Business Managment. As a full stack developer, I believe in building solutions that meet project needs—solutions that are innovative yet robust, and scalable for the future. Whether working on personal projects or within interdisciplinary teams, I am dedicated to continuously mastering my craft. I strive to make a positive impact on my team, organization, and community, contributing to making the world a better place now and for the next generation.
I enjoyed my time in high school, I took a bunch of rigorous AP classes like AP Physics 1 and 2, maintained a 4.6 GPA, led the chess club as president, and competed on the varsity swim team. There I fostered strong academic and leadership skills that I carry over to this day.
At ASU, I enriched my college experience by making friends from all walks of life. I continued being a chess club member, joined the tango club, and served as an ambassador for TW Lewis for Personal Development, enhancing my leadership, teamwork, and cultural appreciation while pursuing academic excellence.
The Google Cybersecurity certification gave me skills in safeguarding digital assets and contributing to a safer online environment. This accomplishment enhances my professional profile by learning about cybersecurity, that I otherwise would not have gotten in the classroom.
My tenure as a clerk at Quick Trip honed my customer service skills, time management, and multitasking abilities. It was a tough, high paced environment, but it provided invaluable hands-on experience in dealing with the unexpected and enhanced my communication prowess.
At ASU's Technology Office, I provided technical support, troubleshooting, and guidance to professors and students. This role sharpened my problem-solving skills and deepened my understanding of IT systems.
Allen is a dedicated individual who has a passion for building skills in the computer design and coding industry. His technical knowlege and ability to adapt to any given situation is striking and inspiring. I've yet to meet a harder worker than him.

I've known Allen Rodriguez since the beginning of college. From the start I was impressed by his character, kindness, and drive to do good in the world. He's stayed connected through the ups and downs of college and I've seen I'm grow into a young leader. You can trust him I guess.

Lo quiero mucho desde muy chiquito, porque ha sido un muchacho muy obediente y muy estudioso. Mi hija y yo nunca tuvimos problemas con el. Él es muy inteligente y a veces le decía, “pásame algo de tu inteligencia”. Lo quiero mucho porque es un buen muchacho. De los mejores nietos que yo he visto entre mis amigas es uno de los mejores.
His Grandma
Having had the privilege of knowing Allen personally, I can attest to his strong work ethic and dedication to obtaining the goals he sets out for himself. Although above all his most admirable trait would have to be how he values family above all else.

As an Eagle Scout in Troop 350, I led a project providing aid to a local American-Somali Refugee Center. It was an amazing success that helped lots of people in need. Serving as Senior Patrol, I honed leadership, survival, and life skills, learning from diverse experiences.
I primarily train Muy Thai and Dutch Kickboxing but also enjoy practicing grappling arts like Jujitsu and Wrestling. I currently train out of Arizona Combat Sports, where I've honed my skills and passion for martial arts. Its a great source of cardio, but it also sharpens the mind and instills discipline.
I've been playing chess since I was 10 and I've been a student of the game ever since. I've delved into chess, studying openings and theory passionately. I've led my school's chess club as president were we've faced off against other school. My all-time high Elo rating is 1894.
The piano was one of my first hobbies to pick up, and it's been a lifelong passion; I currently serve as my church's organist. I enjoy the Romantic era but appreciate Classical. Mozart and Chopin pieces are my personal favorites to play.
I was probably swimming before I was walking. From racing my Grandma to competing for my high school, I have lots of fond memories. I mainly competed in the 100 Butterfly and 200 IM, my best 50 time was 23.5 seconds.
What began as chores evolved into a passion. We grow various fruits like apples, tomatoes, oranges, lemons, etc at home. We also raise chickens. Tending to our garden and animals brings me joy and fulfillment. It serves as medication and I take great pride in our garden.
I enjoy automotive work, from engine rebuilds to suspension and even just plain out maintenance. I hope to one day have my own little warehouse as a shop full of cars. My dream car, without a doubt, would be a Skyline GTR R34.
