\"Welcome<\/a><\/div>\n
As Backblaze continues to grow, we need to keep our web experience on point, so we put out a call for creative folks that can help us make the Backblaze experience all that it can be. We found Carlo! He’s a frontend web developer who used to work at Sea World. Lets learn a bit more about Carlo, shall we?<\/div>\n

\nWhat is your Backblaze Title?<\/strong><\/div>\n
Senior Frontend Developer<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where are you originally from?\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
I grew up in San Diego, California.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

What attracted you to Backblaze?<\/strong><\/div>\n
I am excited that frontend architecture is approaching parity with the rest of the web services software development ecosystem. Most of my experience has been full stack development, but I have recently started focusing on the front end. Backblaze shares my goal of having a first class user experience using frameworks like React.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

What do you expect to learn while being at Backblaze?<\/strong><\/div>\n
I’m interested in building solutions that help customers visualize and work with their data intuitively and efficiently.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where else have you worked?<\/strong><\/div>\n
GoPro, Sungevity, and Sea World.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

What\u2019s your dream job?<\/strong><\/div>\n
Hip Hop dressage choreographer.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Favorite place you\u2019ve traveled?\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
The Arctic in Northern Finland, in a train in a boat sailing the gap between Germany and Denmark, and Vieques PR.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Favorite hobby?<\/strong><\/div>\n
Sketching, writing, and dressing up my hairless dogs.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of what achievement are you most proud?<\/strong><\/div>\n
It’s either helping release a large SOA site, or orchestrating a Morrissey cover band flash mob #squadgoals. OK, maybe one those things didn’t happen\u2026<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Star Trek or Star Wars?<\/strong><\/div>\n
Interstellar!<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Favorite food?<\/strong><\/div>\n
Mexican food.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Coke or Pepsi?<\/strong><\/div>\n
Ginger beer.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why do you like certain things?\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
Things that I like bring me joy a la Marie Kondo.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anything else you\u2019d like you\u2019d like to tell us?<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00af\\_(\u30c4)_\/\u00af<\/div>\n
