What I'm looking for

I am seeking a dynamic role where I can leverage my skills in cloud computing and robotics, contribute to innovative projects, and grow within a collaborative team environment.

I'm Karlos Zurutuza, a passionate software engineer currently pursuing my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at Texas A&M University, where I maintain a GPA of 3.5. My journey in technology has been marked by a strong focus on cloud computing and robotics, which I have applied in various projects and internships. As the Founder and Lead Engineer at MyCache, I successfully deployed a React Native and Next.js stack on auto-scaling infrastructure, achieving an impressive 99.9% uptime through effective monitoring with Grafana dashboards.

In my previous role as a Product Development Intern at VEX Robotics, I created over 120 SolidWorks drawings that were directly utilized in production, and I streamlined operations by consolidating 5000+ SKUs into a searchable Excel catalog, significantly reducing pick-and-pack time. My university projects, such as Whisper Disco and PushPal, showcase my ability to innovate and deliver high-performance solutions, including audio streaming and real-time notifications using cutting-edge technologies.
