Tools: React, Vite, Supabase, PostgreSQL, Vercel, Resend
Status: Ongoing
- Built a multi-sport analytics dashboard on ESPN's public REST APIs for live scores, standings, and stats (NFL, NBA, MLB).
- Created interactive Recharts visualizations for at-a-glance comparison of team and player performance across leagues.
- Architected a modular React component system with React Router, extensible to new leagues; deployed on Vercel.
Tools: React, Vite, React Router, Recharts, ESPN API, Vercel
Status: Complete
- Prototyped an AI threat assessment platform fusing drone video, NLP on 911 transcripts, and real-time risk scoring.
- Implemented NLP-based incident severity classification and designed a Figma dispatcher dashboard for live risk indicators.
- Delivered a functional end-to-end prototype within 48 hours as part of a multidisciplinary team.
Tools: NLP, Computer vision, Figma
Status: Hackathon prototype
Research
“Does Documentation Help? Evaluating the Role of Javadoc-Style Comments in LLM-Generated Unit Tests via Mutation Testing”
- Conducting a semester-long study of whether Javadoc comments improve bug detection by Claude-generated Java unit tests.
- Conducting a literature review on LLM-generated unit tests, code documentation, and mutation testing.
- Selecting open-source Java projects and learning mutation testing (PIT) for the study's preliminary report.
- Planning a three-condition comparison: code only, Javadoc + signature only, and code + Javadoc.
Tools: Java, JUnit, PIT (learning), Claude
Status: In progress. The preliminary report covers the literature review, Java project selection, and PIT setup. No results yet.

About
Hi, I'm Isaac Moreno, a Computer Science senior at The University of Texas at El Paso with a Minor in Mathematics. I graduate in December 2026.
I build full-stack web apps: Moreno Captures, a booking and portfolio app for my photography business, and ESPN Hub, a multi-sport stats dashboard. This semester I'm doing an independent study with Dr. Yoonsik Cheon on whether Javadoc documentation helps LLMs write better Java unit tests, and I'm learning mutation testing (PIT) along the way.
Before that I worked in the Disney College Program as a PhotoPass photographer at Walt Disney World, and earlier as a real estate agent in El Paso. Both jobs meant working face to face with people under real deadlines and quality standards.
Photography and visual work are a big part of who I am, and off the clock I'm a PC and Xbox gamer. I'm looking for new-grad software engineering roles.
Interests: Photography and visual work, Sports media and analytics, PC and Xbox gaming
