Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCarlos Jenkins is a Co-Founder and software engineer with 13 years of experience building and leading engineering efforts from embedded systems to cloud-ready products, currently based in Costa Rica. At KuraLabs he blends hands-on development with startup leadership, after senior roles at Gorilla Logic and Hewlett Packard Enterprise where he led technical teams and delivery. An active open-source contributor, he improved maintainability and PEP8 compliance for the widely used gcovr coverage tool by modularizing its core engines and parsers. Comfortable across back-end systems and tooling, he brings a research-informed approach from earlier academic roles and a knack for refactoring messy code into clear, testable modules. Colleagues appreciate his pragmatic engineering mindset and his tendency to spot structural improvements others overlook.
