Summary
Alejandro Cepeda is a seasoned full-stack developer and technical leader with around 18 years of hands-on software experience and a decade of focused professional work in Node.js, Vue.js, PHP/Laravel and cloud deployments. Currently serving as Technical Referent at Instaleap after progressing through Senior and Lead engineering roles, he blends architecture-savvy practices (Hexagonal, TDD) with pragmatic delivery using Docker, GraphQL, TypeScript and relational/NoSQL databases. He has led engineering teams and startups (former CTO) across Latin America, bringing both product-minded leadership and deep implementation skills. Alejandro is a self-taught, command-line-first engineer who favors automated testing and reproducible deployments, often bridging legacy PHP systems with modern JS stacks. Colleagues rely on him for code quality, pragmatic architecture and mentoring, while he continues to evolve tooling and CI practices in production environments. Based in Bogotá, he pairs long-term system knowledge with rapid iteration—an engineer who still enjoys digging into database queries and Unix internals when solving hard bugs.
