I'm Carlos del Castillo
Engineering Manager with 15+ years spanning software development, architecture, and consulting — building platforms and teams in fintech and regulated environments.
I bring together technical depth and organizational perspective to deliver systems that scale, and the teams that sustain them.
About Me.
Since 2009, I have worked across the full spectrum of software engineering: from hands-on development and architecture to technical consulting, development lead, and engineering management.
I combine technical depth with organizational leadership — designing scalable platforms, evolving engineering processes, and building high-performing teams in complex, regulated environments.
Throughout my career I have contributed at multiple layers of the engineering function, including enterprise consulting for financial clients and strategic input on technology direction, team structure, and product alignment.
