Carlos Aguilera

I'm a software engineer who thrives on building modern, scalable web applications. My journey started in 2020 with C++ side projects like a Snake Game and a terminal-based POS system , which taught me low-level problem solving and memory management early on.


In 2021, I shifted my focus to the web. I immersed myself in Vue.js, Nuxt, Supabase, and TypeScript. Building full-stack apps, shipping features end-to-end, and learning to design for scale. Today, I'm pursuing my B.S. in Computer Science at Long Beach State with a 3.85 GPA, while working professionally as a Full-Stack Developer.


At Ethika, I moved from operations into engineering, leading projects that improved site performance, cut search costs, and powered large-scale content systems. On the side, I’ve launched a platform called The Inked Network used by 200+ artists, integrating real-time features, AI tools, and secure data policies.


I enjoy working in all areas from performance tuning to crafting clean UI. I constantly push myself to pick up new technologies and patterns. Outside of tech, you'll find me fishing, playing soccer, or spending time with family.
