# Milton Barrera

## Docs

- [About & Goals](https://me.miltonials.com/about.md): Who I am, how I work, and what I'm looking for next — a software developer from Costa Rica moving toward data science.
- [Experience & Education](https://me.miltonials.com/experience.md): Milton Barrera's professional experience, education and certifications — Data Scientist at TekDatum, Computer Engineering from TEC, and Harvard's CS50 AI certificate.
- [Milton Barrera — Data Scientist](https://me.miltonials.com/index.md): Data Scientist at TekDatum building RAG and AI systems. Software developer from Costa Rica, Linux kernel contributor, and OpenStreetMap open-source maintainer.
- [CrAutos Scraper — ranking used cars in Costa Rica](https://me.miltonials.com/projects/crautos-scraper.md): An async Python scraper I built to pull structured data on used cars in Costa Rica and score them by how good a deal they are.
- [An escape room solved by a genetic algorithm](https://me.miltonials.com/projects/escape-room.md): A genetic algorithm that learns to escape a room on its own — one of my favorite projects to explain, because there's a video.
- [A patch in the Linux kernel](https://me.miltonials.com/projects/linux-kernel.md): How I tracked down a mouse that refused to report clicks and landed a HID quirk upstream in the Linux kernel.
- [MILRI — a PWA for schools](https://me.miltonials.com/projects/milri.md): A progressive web app I built as a graduation project to help educational institutions schedule events and push real-time notifications.
- [OSMTracker & OpenStreetMap](https://me.miltonials.com/projects/osmtracker.md): My open-source work around OSMTracker for Android and the OpenStreetMap ecosystem — recording GPS traces in the field and getting that data back to the community.
- [Windows Organizer — a tiny tool that stuck](https://me.miltonials.com/projects/windows-organizer.md): A one-file PowerShell/batch script that sorts a messy folder into subfolders by file extension. Small, but people actually use it.
- [Skills & Tools](https://me.miltonials.com/skills.md): The languages, frameworks, and tools Milton Barrera works with — from kernel-level C to web apps and data pipelines in Python.
- [Mapping for good](https://me.miltonials.com/writing/mapping-for-good.md): Why I spend so much of my open-source time on OpenStreetMap and humanitarian mapping — and why maps are quietly some of the most important software we build.
- [Why I build](https://me.miltonials.com/writing/why-i-build.md): A short note on why I keep starting projects — from kernel patches to weekend scrapers — and what ties them together.
