Hello, I'm
Sem Benavente
Building digital experiences by day, making music by night, exploring the world in between.
I'm a Peruvian software developer living in Brazil, with a passion for creating elegant solutions — both in code and in music.
Trained in Venezuela's renowned El Sistema program, I bring discipline, creativity, and a collaborative spirit to everything I do. When I'm not coding or playing violin, you'll find me leading Pathfinder activities or experimenting in the kitchen.
Developer
Full-stack engineer who loves clean architecture and modern web technologies.
Violinist
Classically trained through El Sistema in Peru and Venezuela.
Pathfinder
Scout leader — Conquistador in Peru, Desbravador in Brazil.
Home Cook
Enthusiastic cook. Not always delicious, but always an adventure.
Building the web, one commit at a time
I specialize in building modern web applications with clean architecture and attention to detail. From responsive frontends to robust backend systems, I enjoy crafting the full stack.
Technologies I work with
Projects coming soon — I'm always building something new.
From El Sistema to the world
My musical journey began in Peru and deepened at El Sistema in Venezuela — one of the world's most transformative music education programs. The violin taught me patience, precision, and the beauty of collective harmony.
I'm available for concerts, chamber music, orchestral performances, corporate events, weddings, and private occasions. Music has the power to transform any space.
Pathfinder
As a Pathfinder — Conquistador in Peru, Desbravador in Brazil — I've learned that life's greatest growth happens when you step outside your comfort zone. Leading young people in outdoor adventures, community service, and personal development is one of my deepest passions.
Kitchen Adventures
I love experimenting in the kitchen. Peruvian ceviche, Brazilian feijoada, or something completely improvised — not every dish is a masterpiece, but every attempt teaches something new. Cooking, like coding, is about iteration.
