Carlo Corcuera

Software Engineer  ·  Backend APIs & Systems  ·  Product & Project Delivery


Developer based in Metro Manila with a background that started in the classroom and grew into building production systems. I started as a bootcamp instructor — which turned out to be the best foundation for working with stakeholders — and have since worked across both frontend and backend, from API governance at enterprise scale to shipping my own consumer apps. I'm drawn to work that sits at the intersection of technical execution and real-world impact.
