Alexandre Menor is a seasoned software engineer based in Galicia with over 25 years of hands-on programming experience and 12 years in professional roles building backend, frontend and infrastructure for high-scale services. At Dinahosting he has delivered everything from Go utilities, REST APIs (Mojolicious, Slim, Dancer2), and domain-management systems to CI/CD, Ansible deployments, ELK observability and Ceph-backed backups, often bridging legacy PHP/Perl stacks with modern tooling. He contributes to notable open-source ecosystems—Homebrew and the popular xbar-plugins repo—working across Perl, Ruby, Shell and Go to integrate system tooling and internationalized packages. Comfortable troubleshooting thousands of Linux servers and implementing distributed components (RabbitMQ, Spark, Hadoop), he also brings practical DevOps chops such as packaging .deb deployments and Docker-based dev environments. A polyglot developer with experience in localization and protocol-level integrations (EPP, SOAP, XML-RPC), he pairs deep systems knowledge with a knack for pragmatic automation and operational reliability.
