About Me
Hi, I'm Carlos Requena 👋, a full stack developer with 3+ years of experience turning ideas into engaging, responsive web experiences and web applications. I'm passionate about crafting clean, modern websites and apps that not only look great but work seamlessly across devices
My journey into developing started during the pandemic, when I stumbled into coding and quickly got hooked on the creative process.I've had the chance to work with a range of clients, from small startups to big businesses, helping bring their visions to life on the web
Outside of developing, you'll usually find me at the gym, playing games, or creating content to share what I've learned with others. I love connecting with people who are just as excited about tech, creativity, and continuous learning as I am.
