I'm Carlos Santiago — a Front-End Engineer with 7+ years of experience across engineering and product design. I started in UX/UI for enterprise and consumer brands, then transitioned into building scalable, performant web apps. I focus on product design, design systems, front-end architecture, and building with React and TypeScript.
Kurocado Studio serves as a hands-on environment where I explore the full product development lifecycle — applying design, engineering, and product strategy, shaped by my master’s in business management and real-world UX/front-end engineering practice.
While I’m actively exploring full-time opportunities, this space helps me stay sharp: I build small projects like products, explore new design system patterns, and prototype ideas through Daily UI challenges and TypeScript-first front-end stacks.
