Summary
Alfonso Carvallo is a Senior Software Engineer based in Montevideo with eight years of hands-on experience building scalable backend systems and data pipelines on AWS. He specializes in Node.js, serverless architectures (Lambda, Kinesis, SQS), DynamoDB/Redshift analytics, and performance-focused services, often bridging engineering and delivery as a tech lead. His background spans PHP legacy systems to modern Typescript tooling, plus practical experience rendering complex documents and managing multi-channel communications (email, voice, webchat). Alfonso mixes engineering with product sense from earlier roles in SEO, UX and affiliate-driven growth, which helps him design solutions that are both performant and user-aware. He mentors small pods and guides technical decisions while remaining a pragmatic coder who still enjoys design and creative tooling like the Adobe suite. Outside work he’s a gamer and tinkerer, reflecting a continuous curiosity that fuels side projects and rapid prototyping.
