Summary
Carl Bernardo is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of full-stack experience building production web applications across React/Redux, Node.js, PHP/Laravel, and modern backend stacks including Go and Python. He has led internal tools and data-forward engineering at fintech and blockchain companies (Tala, TRM Labs) and currently works on learning and talent transformation at Guild. Comfortable across databases from MySQL and MariaDB to PostgreSQL and BigQuery, he combines front-end fluency in the React ecosystem with experience in data analysis using NumPy/Pandas and Elasticsearch. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate who studied economics and Japanese and completed a research stint at Keio University, he brings cross-cultural insight and product-oriented consulting experience from early career roles. Carl is pursuing an MS in Computer Science at Georgia Tech while remaining open to LA-based or remote opportunities, blending academic rigor with hands-on delivery. Outside of work he keeps a playful GitHub persona ("Not Kendrick Lamar's Cousin") that hints at a pragmatic, personable approach to engineering.
