Hi, I'm Carlos 👋

building cool small projects and learning new technologies in software development

A little about me...

I graduated from Mississippi State Univeristy with a degree in Biochemistry. I had goals of going to dental school but those changed when graduating during covid. During a little free time I decided to learn a few things about software development. Since then I have continued to grow my skills and was able to land a role

What am I doing next?

Currently I am taking time to learn NextJS and a plan to purse a MS in Computer Science
