Alberto Zugazagoitia is a software engineer and programme/product manager with 9 years of experience, currently coordinating the ECRIS-TCN programme at eu-LISA from Tallinn. He blends hands-on back-end development—contributing to the popular Javalin Java/Kotlin framework around logging, HTTP status handling, and async/server-sent events—with strategic product and budget ownership for cross-border justice IT systems. Previously he shaped e-CODEX interoperability efforts and participated in eu-LISA’s AI Community of Practice, turning PoCs and open-source tech into cost-efficient generative AI recommendations. His background in computer software engineering (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid) underpins a pragmatic approach to architecture, automation and standards alignment. Colleagues value his ability to move between code-level fixes and programme-level coordination, and his contributions to Javalin reveal a quieter focus on robustness and developer experience.
