About
Carlos Manuel Cejas
I was born and raised in Philadelphia, the son of two Cuban immigrants. Now I study computer science at Trinity College Dublin.
A lot of people saw moving from the US to Dublin for CS as a step down. I had been accepted to respected American schools, and more than a few people told me I was making the wrong call.
I saw an opportunity. Dublin's tech scene is growing fast, helped by tax incentives, post-Brexit consolidation, and a real concentration of people building things. It is also a smaller room, where being American still carries a kind of social capital and where standing out matters more.
Getting into Hack Europe as a first-year, when almost none of my peers got in, confirmed the bet for me. I did not just pick a school. I picked a market where I knew I could have an edge.
Writing
One published piece so far. I would write again.
My country is not your talking point — Trinity News.
