Hi! My name is Carlos Zabala. Programmer and Software Developer.

I am an undergraduate student at LaGuardia Community College, majoring in Programming and Software Development. I have experience with languages such as C++, C# and Java along with a strong foundation in Object Oriented Programming, Data Structures and Algorithms. Additionally, I have basic knowledge of web development like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Beyond programming, I have experience with basic game development using Unreal Engine 5 and Unity, as well as Project Management skills that help me plan, coordinate, and execute task efficiently in both solo and team-based projects.

In my free time, I enjoy working on personal projects, exploring new technologies, listening to music, and collecting retro hardware.
