Daniel S.
Senior Software Engineer - Full stack, cloud and devops
I'm a Senior Software Engineer with 9+ years designing and shipping scalable, cloud-native systems — from high-traffic e-commerce APIs to climate-risk analytics. I work full-stack across TypeScript and Python, and I care most about building things that stay fast and reliable as they grow. Most of my career has been spent close to the hard parts of a system: REST APIs and microservices handling millions of requests, microfrontend architectures that let large teams ship independently, and the authentication and cloud infrastructure that hold it all together. Lately that's meant building the customer-facing platform for EarthScan at Mitiga Solutions — a Next.js 16 / React 19 microfrontend backed by Python (FastAPI) services on Azure/AKS. What I bring: Full-stack depth — React/Next.js and design systems on the front end; Node.js/NestJS and FastAPI microservices on the back end. Cloud-native & DevOps — Azure, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform, GitHub Actions. Scale under pressure — APIs and services built to hold up through peak traffic like Black Friday and Christmas. Ownership — I like owning a slice end to end, from API design and security to deployment. I've worked across e-commerce, fintech, insurance, healthtech, and climate tech, in distributed teams across Europe and the Americas. I'm based in Spain and comfortable working remotely across time zones.
