Senior🎓
Top SchoolÁlvaro Valbuena is a pragmatic, design-minded software leader with over a decade of front-end and apps experience, currently directing Apps at HolidayCheck AG from his base in Bottighofen, Switzerland. He rose through progressive technical and leadership roles at HolidayCheck—from developer to director—combining hands-on coding with team-building to ship customer-facing products in leisure, travel and tourism. A founder-turned-executive, he pairs entrepreneurial instincts from MediaBurg with a strong engineering foundation from Universidad de León. Álvaro is equally comfortable sketching UX-minded interfaces and diving into code, and he’s known for creating delightful product experiences while scaling teams and delivery. Despite senior responsibilities, he stays technically engaged and visible in the frontend community, described simply on GitHub as a "Passionate Frontend Developer lost in Switzerland."
