Summary
Ángel Del Blanco Aguado is a Tribe Tech Lead and Staff Engineer based in Madrid with 17 years of experience designing and migrating large-scale, cloud-native systems. He blends a research-backed background in game design and a PhD in computer science with hands-on architecture work—reshaping monoliths into microservices, improving observability, and switching synchronous stacks to reactive, queue-based systems. At companies like Santander, lastminute.com and Allianz Direct he’s led cross-functional initiatives to reduce coupling, increase cohesion, and align architecture with product through DDD and new team topologies. He’s equally comfortable in low-level technical decisions (caching, data stores, audio compression for SIP recording) and in fostering engineering culture, creating collaboration models and working groups that drive measurable delivery improvements. Known for pragmatic experimentation with AWS and developer workflows, he brings a creative, game-design-informed approach to problem framing that helps teams iterate faster and learn continuously.
