Software Engineer 👨🏻‍💻

About🙋‍♂️

Hello 👋 I’m Carlos Parreño. I was born in Spain 🇪🇸 where I grew up. Since the age of 25 I’ve lived in Norway 🇳🇴 , Belgium 🇧🇪 and Ireland 🇮🇪 currently.

I’m a Software Engineer 👨🏻‍💻 with a Bachelor and Master Degree in Computer Science that I acquired in the University of Huelva (Spain) and the University of Stavanger (Norway).

My professional career started in IBM Belgium, where I had a year internship. Things went well 🎉 and I moved to IBM Ireland in Dublin, where the European Technology Campus is located 🏰. I worked there until 2022 when my former team IBM Watson Health became an independent company called Merative, where I'm currently working.

I’m a passionate Front-Ender 🤟 who loves building modern and fast web applications, I am an ambitious learner always keen to keep up with the latest advancements. I enjoy working with tech-lovers whom I learn tones from and share my expertise with.

Among my other interests are:

  • Sports ⚽: I played in football clubs back at home and now I play for fun, I also like yoga and inline skating.

  • Reading 📚: I love books on technology, business, psychology, leadership, wellbeing and personal growth.

  • Travel ✈️: One of my biggest passions, I love nature ⛰ and adventure 🤠. I’ve been to 6 continents and hopefully I’ll go to Antarctica one day and fulfill my dream of being in all 7 continents.
