Carlos received his Masters CS at Salamanca University, Spain. He worked a few years there in an advergaming agency, gaining expertise on a very wide range of technologies before moving to London where he narrowed down the focus on to the backend and data engineering disciplines. His next steps were moving back to Madrid to work for Jobandtalent on its recommendation system, helping Cabify on becoming a purely data driven company and finally joining Amazon to help on keep disrupting the e-commerce world.
