Carolina Padilla

Welcome to my portfolio!

I’m a Backend Software Developer working on large-scale telematics applications in the automotive industry. Day to day, I design and implement backend features using JavaScript/TypeScript, GraphQL (federated supergraph), and AWS, while integrating services with Apollo and Jenkins. I contribute both independently and as part of a collaborative team through pair programming, code reviews, and knowledge sharing. I also enjoy presenting technical work to clients and creating clear documentation and diagrams that help bring complex systems to life.

Before moving into backend development, I pursued a Master’s in Computer Science, where I worked extensively in robotic projects such as Brando the Robotic Dog and other research-driven builds. These experiences gave me a strong foundation in problem-solving, system design, and bridging theory with practical implementation.

I’m passionate about building technology that is scalable, maintainable, and impactful, whether that’s backend services powering millions of users or innovative robotics projects that push the boundaries of what’s possible.
