Top SchoolAlberto Varela is a Bilbao-based lead software engineer with 14+ years building full-stack web products and leading teams from startup to scale. He has strong TypeScript/JavaScript expertise and a track record as tech lead driving monorepo consolidation, JavaScript→TypeScript migrations, and robust CI/CD and cloud automation practices. At Genially and Paired he combined hands-on development with architectural ownership, shipping identity, authorization, and collaborative features while coaching engineering teams. His background spans backend C# systems, front-end frameworks (Angular, Vue, Electron) and infrastructure automation (ARM, Puppet, Terraform, Azure), reflecting a rare blend of product sensibility and ops fluency. An open-source contributor to front-end tooling (notably work on the Sidr responsive menu plugin), he pairs practical UI improvements with scalable backend integrations. Quietly pragmatic and occasionally grumpy, he champions clean code, developer ergonomics, and measurable product outcomes.
