πŸ‘‹ Hello, I'm Brian Bazurto

I'm a Computer Science student at Florida International University (Honors College) with a minor in Business Analytics, interested in software engineering, AI-assisted development workflows, mobile systems, and automated testing environments.

I enjoy building projects that sit close to developer tooling and evaluation workflows β€” especially where software behavior needs to be tested across edge cases, ambiguous specifications, and real-world constraints.

Recently, I’ve been exploring how AI coding agents behave across structured tasks, while continuing to build systems using Python, Java, Kotlin, Swift, and cloud-based tools.


🧠 Technical Interests

  • AI coding agents and evaluation environments
  • fuzzing and automated testing workflows
  • developer tooling
  • backend systems
  • mobile application engineering
  • prompt interpretation and correctness analysis
  • software reliability and edge-case behavior

πŸ”¬ Technical Work

Grammar-Based Fuzzing Research

Built grammar-based fuzzers using Python to test structured-input programs such as:

  • calculators
  • regex engines
  • URL parsers
  • triangle classifiers
  • CGI decoders
  • binary search
  • quick sort
  • password programs

This work strengthened my understanding of:

  • automated test generation
  • behavioral correctness vs expected output
  • adversarial input discovery
  • specification ambiguity
  • detecting hidden assumptions inside software systems

AI Customer Support System

Built an AI-powered support assistant using:

  • Next.js
  • Firebase authentication
  • Python-based logic
  • structured prompt workflows

Focused on:

  • improving interaction reliability
  • designing structured response pipelines
  • integrating frontend + backend AI workflows
  • evaluating output consistency across scenarios

Pantry Tracker (Full Stack)

Built a pantry inventory management system using:

  • Next.js
  • Firebase
  • Firestore database

Supports:

  • item tracking
  • search functionality
  • persistent storage workflows
  • real-time updates

This project strengthened my experience with full-stack application architecture and cloud-backed data systems.


FlashGenius (AI Study Assistant)

Built an AI-powered flashcard generator designed to support learning workflows through structured content generation.

EcoRoute

Developed a sustainability-focused routing assistant integrating mapping APIs with environmental impact awareness to support smarter travel decisions.


HealthWatch

Built a Python + Flask application exploring health monitoring workflows and structured real-time data interaction.


πŸ€– AI Coding Agent Workflow Experience

I regularly experiment with AI-assisted development tools as part of my engineering workflow.

I have used coding agents to support:

  • implementation iteration
  • debugging workflows
  • prompt refinement
  • alternative solution exploration
  • structured response evaluation
  • reasoning-gap identification

Working with these systems has helped me better understand the difference between:

  • surface correctness
  • reasoning correctness
  • specification interpretation

🐍 Python Engineering Experience

Python is one of my primary working languages.

I have used Python across:

  • grammar-based fuzzing
  • automated testing workflows
  • backend logic development
  • AI-assisted applications
  • scripting and experimentation
  • API-based integrations

I especially enjoy using Python for building evaluation-style tooling and automation environments.


πŸ“± Mobile Engineering Experience

Built multiple native applications across Android (Kotlin) and iOS (Swift) platforms through coursework and independent development.

Android Projects

  • Flixster+
  • Wishlist
  • BitFit
  • Task Manager
  • Wordle (Android)
  • MentalMate (AI-driven wellness companion)

iOS Projects

  • Wordle (iOS)
  • Trivia Quiz
  • Tumblr Feed
  • TuneTrek Music App

Across these applications I worked with:

  • REST APIs
  • JSON parsing
  • asynchronous networking
  • lifecycle-aware UI development
  • persistent storage workflows
  • debugging runtime issues
  • MVC-style architectures

Building native apps strengthened my understanding of how frontend systems behave in constrained real-device environments.


β˜• Java Engineering Experience

I have used Java across coursework and projects involving:

  • object-oriented programming
  • algorithm implementation
  • data structures
  • multi-class program architecture
  • debugging structured logic systems

Java helped strengthen my understanding of:

  • abstraction
  • modular program structure
  • runtime behavior
  • correctness vs implementation detail

This foundation supports my approach to backend engineering today.


πŸ›  Developer Tooling Experience

I enjoy working close to developer workflows and tooling environments.

Tools I regularly use:

  • Git
  • Firebase
  • Google Cloud
  • IntelliJ
  • Android Studio
  • PyCharm
  • VS Code

I'm particularly interested in how tooling shapes developer productivity and how AI coding agents integrate into engineering workflows.


πŸ’Ό Experience

August 2024 – Present | Miami, FL

Founded and lead a technical student organization focused on helping students strengthen software engineering skills through:

  • coding workshops
  • interview preparation sessions
  • project-based learning
  • hackathons
  • industry panels

Tech Fellow β€” CodePath

Sep 2023 – Present

Support students learning:

  • data structures
  • algorithms
  • debugging strategies
  • structured problem-solving approaches

This role strengthened my ability to explain technical ideas clearly and help others develop engineering intuition.


SEO Tech Developer Intern

May 2024 – August 2024 | New York, NY

Built multiple software projects involving:

  • AI-integrated applications
  • backend logic systems
  • Python-based workflows
  • API-driven architectures

Projects included:

  • AI Customer Support
  • EcoRoute
  • HealthWatch
  • StockSnap

This internship strengthened my experience building applications from concept to working implementation.

⚑ Fun Fact

I enjoy building technical communities almost as much as I enjoy building software systems.

Both scale better than expected.
