Hey! I'm
Cleo Reyes,
About
Hi! I'm Cleo, welcome to my website! ✨
I'm an undergraduate at the University of Washington - Seattle, studying Informatics and Computer Science. I'm passionate about building software solutions that are secure, scalable, accessible, optimal, and impactful. My experience and interests span from full-stack development, human-computer interaction, security, AI/ML, to distributed systems.
When I'm not on my laptop, you can often find me exploring new cafes and restaurants, making my way to the gym, trying to perfect my coffee recipe, or dancing/singing to my favorite songs (usually on repeat 🎶).
Feel free to reach out if you would like to chat or have any questions, I would love to hear from you! You can also view my resume.

Rune
An automated AI red teaming platform that detects vulnerabilities like exposed system prompts, leaked API keys, and PII extraction, then auto-generates secure solutions.
This project reinforced how important security is by default—and how much I enjoy building tooling that helps others ship safer software.
GetService
GetService connects college students with peer-provided services, offering a safe, social marketplace that empowers student entrepreneurs to grow and showcase their skills.
Building a full-stack marketplace taught me to think in systems—auth, state, and user flows—and to prioritize clarity for both users and future maintainers.
