Summary
Alberto Alonso is a Senior Backend Engineer based in Madrid with over a decade of software experience and six-plus years focused on backend and distributed systems. He designs and builds large-scale microservices, event-sourced/CQRS architectures, and NoSQL-driven platforms, currently applying those skills in a BI team at Lighthouse. His background spans security-critical authentication systems for global eCommerce, open-source reactive microservices in Python, and ETL/OLAP work that bridges data engineering and BI. Alberto combines functional Scala and Akka concurrency with pragmatic Python async development, Docker/Kubernetes deployments, and message brokers like Kafka and RabbitMQ. He values rigorous testing and CI practices and brings an uncommon mix of academic teaching experience and R&D machine learning work, making him comfortable both mentoring and architecting complex, production-grade systems.
