Welcome to my 42 Madrid Cursus portfolio! Here you will find an overview of the skills and projects I’ve developed throughout my journey at 42 Madrid, a highly innovative, self-paced programming school that uses a peer-to-peer learning model.
42 is a global, innovative coding school that emphasizes self-learning, collaboration, and hands-on project work. There are no teachers, only peers. This educational approach challenges students to develop both hard and soft skills while working on real-world problems in a variety of programming languages and technologies.

Throughout the Cursus, I developed strong technical skills in the following areas:
- C/C++ programming
- Makefiles
- Shell scripting (Bash)
- Version control with Git
- Networking fundamentals
- Docker
- SQL (database management)
- Web development (HTML, CSS, WordPress, JavaScript)
- Computer graphics and visualization
- Assembly language
42's unique peer-to-peer approach also helped me grow in the following key areas:
-
Self-learning & Proactivity
Emphasized as a core value at 42, where we learn by researching, questioning peers, and experimenting independently. -
Teamwork
Collaborating on group projects that require a balance of different knowledge levels and finding a unified working methodology. -
Time Management & Resilience
With the freedom to work at any time (24/7), managing deadlines and staying motivated through challenging workloads is crucial.
Here are some of the main tools and technologies I’ve used during my time at 42 Madrid:
-
Bash
-
Git
-
C
-
Makefiles
-
Codam's MLX42 (for graphics)
