Hey! 👋🏻 It's Carlo, and this is my personal space for everything I need as a developer, creative, but mainly just as a person. It's like journaling, but publicly catered to be read by you, my invisible audience. So welcome, and i'm glad you're here!
The Beginning of a Dream
How at 27, the resurgence of simply having dreams, and the idea of pursuing it is shaping up to reality.
About Me
I'm a passionate Frontend Engineer with expertise in modern web technologies. I love creating beautiful, performant, and user-friendly applications that make a difference.
Based in Barcelona, I work with cutting-edge technologies like React, Next.js, TypeScript, and modern CSS frameworks to build exceptional digital experiences, and also integrating these with emerging AI technologies.
When I'm not coding, you can find me introspecting about life, cooking dinners for friends, overanalyzing music and art, or just hanging out at home, reading.
