Carlos Vega

Senior Software Engineer & Tech Lead

15+ years of software engineering — from requirement analysis and project scheduling to architectural design and delivery. I lead teams through every phase of the development cycle to ship quality products that meet and exceed expectations. A well-versed front-end web engineer — React, Next.js, Angular — building cross-platform mobile in React Native and cloud-native platforms on AWS, with AI-augmented workflows woven through the whole lifecycle.
