Top SchoolAlvaro Alonso is a Senior Software Engineer with eight years’ experience building and operating full-stack, cloud-native systems for public sector and healthcare platforms. He combines hands-on work across Node.js/TypeScript, Java/Spring Boot, React and Kubernetes with deep experience in AWS, IaC and observability to deliver resilient microservices and APIs (including FHIR/OpenEHR integrations for clinical data). At NDS Scotland he helped move a pioneering NHS project from pilot to multi-board production, designing developer-friendly APIs, shared tooling and automation that reduced operational burden. He is an advocate for engineering rigor—TDD/BDD, RFCs/ADRs, runbooks and incident learning—to improve delivery and team practices. Based in Edinburgh, he pairs a journalism background and strong communication skills with technical leadership, often translating complex clinical and technical requirements into practical, reusable solutions.
