Hey, I'm

Mauro Flores

Backend Developer building secure, well-structured APIs and systems with Python and Flask, focused on data logic and clean architecture.

I've got a solid foundation in advanced Python (OOP, decorators, Protocols), and I integrate APIs and LLMs into real backend systems. Lately I've been digging into agent-based architecture and tools like FastAPI and Docker.

Philosophy

Building systems that solve real problems

I care about understanding things from the root. Before I write a single line of code, I research, structure, and think. I enjoy that part as much as the building itself.

That's why fundamentals matter to me, and it's why I took CS50. I work with advanced Python — OOP, decorators, async, strict typing — and I'm exploring how LLMs fit into real backend systems, where I think some of the most interesting problems are right now.

I'm not just learning to code. I'm learning to build things that matter.

Featured Projects

Building my path into backend engineering

Stream Health Monitor — Light Stream Health Monitor — Dark
Python asyncio mypy --strict OOP httpx

Stream Health Monitor

A real-time health monitor for web endpoints. It checks live services concurrently, measures latency and status, evaluates configurable health rules, and serves the state through a Flask API. Built around async, generators, a custom retry decorator and a fully typed codebase (mypy --strict).

RunLog — Home RunLog — Login RunLog — Profile RunLog — Progress RunLog — Register RunLog — AI Upload
Python Flask PostgreSQL Gemini API

RunLog

A backend system that turns fitness-app screenshots into structured data through multimodal LLM extraction (Gemini API), integrating external APIs to build real coaching logic — Zone 2, injury-risk, weather. My CS50x final project.

Secure User Manager
Python Flask SQLite

Secure User Manager API

Backend authentication system in Python and Flask — bcrypt hashing, salting and token-based auth — that also simulates real attacks (brute-force, timing) to validate it.

Smaller builds and learning exercises across my stack

Latido

Solidity · Hardhat · React · Ethers.js

On-chain allowance system where a guardian manages USDT funds for dependents, enforced by a smart contract. Built at a Monad hackathon.

FlaskBook

Python · Flask · SQLite

Flask fundamentals — auth, sessions, AJAX search and a relational SQLite schema. A CS50 practice project.

ToDoList

Python · JSON

A command-line task manager with full CRUD and local JSON persistence. One of my first Python builds.

Ballot

Solidity · Monad

My first smart contract — a minimal on-chain voting system, deployed on Monad testnet.

Rock-Paper-Scissors

Python · JSON

A game that adapts to the player by analyzing move patterns and probabilities across rounds — never fully deterministic.

Life Beyond Code

Outside of programming, I enjoy simple routines that help me stay balanced, curious and connected with the world around me.

Nature & Camping

I enjoy camping, traveling and spending time in nature. Being outdoors with friends and family helps me disconnect, recharge and come back with a clearer mind.

Training & Mind

Running, gym training, yoga and meditation are part of my week routine. I also enjoy reading as a way to train my mind and stay curious.

Cooking

Cooking is one of my favorite ways to unwind. As a sushi chef, I enjoy preparing homemade meals and experimenting with dishes that connect me with different cultures.
