Yanilda Peralta

Yanilda Peralta is a computer scientist, software developer, educator, and technical author whose work spans database systems, distributed computing, cybersecurity, software engineering, and technology education.

As a college educator, she has taught courses in computer science, database systems, operating systems, Python programming, and web application development. Her approach to technical writing reflects the same philosophy that guides her teaching: complex ideas should be rigorous without being inaccessible.

Her first technical book, Security in the World of Big Data, explores the privacy, vulnerabilities, and resilience challenges of modern distributed data systems, connecting technical foundations with real-world security concerns.

Through her writing, teaching, and technology projects, Yanilda seeks to make computing knowledge more accessible and to encourage thoughtful approaches to the systems that increasingly shape our world.
