My Story, And How It Can Help You
My name is Carlos Garcia Jurado Suarez
I’m a tech-savvy career coach with 25 years of experience as a Software Engineer. I hold two master’s degrees—one in Computer Science, and one in Applied Math—both earned while working full time. Throughout my career, I’ve worked across nearly all facets of the tech industry, eventually transitioning into Machine Learning and leadership roles.
I’ve worked for major companies like Microsoft, Facebook, as well as startups and academia. This has given me broad and unique insights about the tech industry that are hard to find elsewhere.
I learned that growing your career involves developing both technical and soft skills in a balanced way—and learning how to take intelligent risks to maximize your chances at your own definition of success. In my case, I went from junior-level college graduate at Microsoft to Principal Engineer, and later seized the opportunity to take on a high-level engineering role at Facebook.
But what I’m most proud of is staying true to my curiosity and values. I’ve worked in fascinating areas like CS/ML research, v1 conversational intelligence products and scientific computing. When the time was right, I even took a career break to travel around the world with my family. With the same skills I’ve developed, you too can build a career that aligns with your values.
The investment you make in your career today will pay dividends for decades to come — and my own journey is the best proof I can offer that this approach works!
