Summary
Alejo Ortega is a Staff Software Engineer with eight years of hands-on experience building and operating distributed backend systems across .NET, Node.js, and cloud-native platforms. He has a track record of improving maintainability and reliability in microservices ecosystems, shipping production services on Kubernetes and contributing to event-driven architectures. Alejo has navigated both startup and enterprise contexts—from mentoring cohorts at Alkemy to leading delivery and support at Lodgify and SOUTHWORKS—while also gaining practical experience in serverless and data pipelines. A self-taught, fast learner and natural collaborator, he often steps into technical leadership and hiring activities, including interviews and take-home assessments.
