About

Hi! I'm Juan Zurita, a Computer Science student at BYU-Idaho. I was born in Bolivia 🇧🇴, but when I was 4 years old, my family moved to Spain 🇪🇸, where I grew up and have lived most of my life.

I'm passionate about technology and AI, and I love creating anything that can have a real impact in the world. I enjoy learning a broad range of topics and I'm continuously looking for new challenges. I built this static vanilla JavaScript website to host my resume and showcase my design abilities. I hope you enjoy it!

Experience

Online Teacher Assistant for WDD230

Brigham Young University - Idaho

April 2023 - Present

Being a TA has helped me acquire valuable skills which I can use on any project I work on. Troubleshooting is something really important as much as providing support to others. These abilities help me write clean code and think about the accessibility for my projects.

  • Provided guidance and support to 20+ students in web development using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
  • Guided students to achieve proficiency in creating responsive, well-designed, and interactive web pages using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
  • Assisted students in understanding and implementing web development concepts, troubleshoot coding issues, and contribute to a collaborative learning environment.

International Services Processor

Brigham Young University - Idaho

November 2022 - August 2023

As an international student in the United States, I know first-hand how difficult it can be for us to adapt to a different culture and learn the most important regulations. Working in the International Services office at BYU-Idaho, I assisted students with migratory issues or concerns. I also helped to process I-20s for incoming students.

  • Efficiently handled walk-ins, phone calls, and emails, providing information and directing students to appropriate departments.
  • Assisted students with administrative processes and immigration-related questions, offering guidance and facilitating necessary paperwork.
  • Maintained organized records, schedule appointments, and perform general administrative tasks with attention to detail and multitasking abilities.
