Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAitor Algorta is a Staff Software Engineer and engineering leader with nine years’ experience building real-time, event-driven systems and AI-enhanced developer tools. He scaled Airy from prototype to production-grade Kafka-based streaming platform, leading cross-functional teams and driving migrations to microservices on Kubernetes. Comfortable across the stack—from React and TypeScript frontends to Node.js backends and mobile native apps—he focuses on integrating copilots and agents into live data workflows to boost developer velocity and system intelligence. Now at Confluent, he continues to operate at the intersection of distributed systems, data architecture, and applied AI. Outside engineering he channels the same discipline into sprint kayaking and family travel, a hint at his competitive, team-oriented approach to problem solving.
