About Me

My name is Johncarlo, but you can call me Jc.

I'm a recent graduate of the University of Florida, with a degree in Computer Science. I'm currently working in Washington, DC as a Congressional Digital Service Fellow with TechCongress.

I've worked in both the private and public sector, and have past experience with Java, C++, Ruby on Rails, Javascript, and Swift, as well as experience in Product Management.

When I'm not coding or sleeping, I enjoy eating spicy food, beating difficult video games, and listening to city pop.
