about.me

$ cat about.md

I'm Carlos — a computer science graduate from the University of Virginia. I build for the web, and I like working across the whole stack.

Whether it's the interface someone actually clicks through or the database and logic behind it, I enjoy seeing how the pieces fit together — and writing code that still makes sense months later.
