I'm Carlos, a seasoned tech industry leader with over 13 years of experience in software engineering and leadership roles. My journey has taken me from the ranks of software development to influential positions as an Engineering Manager at Twitter and a Director of Engineering at Imgur, where I've had the privilege of working on software solutions at massive scales and helping engineers grow in their careers. As a first-generation American from Peru, I understand the unique challenges faced by underrepresented communities in the tech world. Having been one of the few Latinos in my previous workplaces, I am deeply committed to championing diversity and inclusivity in the industry. My initial passion for technology was born out of a profound love for programming, and today, I'm dedicated to sharing that passion and knowledge to help others forge successful careers in tech. Join me in this journey of empowerment and tech excellence.
