Acerca de Alvaro
I am a Senior Backend & Integration Architect with 15+ years of experience designing and developing software solutions, mainly focused on backend systems, APIs, system integrations and distributed architectures.
Throughout my career, I have worked across the entire software development lifecycle, from understanding business requirements and defining technical solutions to architecture, development, deployment and project management.
My main area of expertise is building and integrating complex business systems using .NET and C#, REST APIs, microservices, Docker, SQL databases and messaging-based architectures.
In my most recent role, I was responsible for the technical development of a software platform focused on integrating payroll, HR and business management systems. The platform connected around 30 external systems and was designed to handle large volumes of employee and client data.
I combine strong hands-on development experience with project management and technical leadership skills, allowing me to work effectively with both technical teams and business stakeholders.
I am particularly interested in projects involving:
- Backend development and architecture
- API and system integrations
- Microservices architectures
- Enterprise software
- ERP and HR/payroll integrations
- Technical consulting and architecture
- Modernisation and refactoring of existing systems
I am comfortable joining existing teams and projects, taking ownership of technical challenges and delivering pragmatic, maintainable solutions.
