Who?

Carlos is a self-taught artist and front-end developer. Most of his knowledge and experience comes from the All Mighty Internet; where he follows blogs from recognized artists and developers. Nonetheless, he still goes to school for he values the ideas and feedback that his instructors provide.

Skilled at the use of electronics from a very early age, Carlos grew interested in computers. He gained experience at troubleshooting computers problems but did not find it very interesting. Then, he found a cozy place to live in between the worlds of Art & Technology. As he adventured in the world of HTML & CSS he learned more and more about graphic & web design.

On January 2011, Carlos founded his first company, CrunchyWeb. Focusing on small companies and start ups, providing them with affordable prices and the latest technology.

Today, Carlos keeps on learning, getting his hands on every piece of knowledge he finds, nothing seems to stop him and he has no intentions of slowing down...
