Angel Perez is a Director of International Operations and seasoned Information Engineer with a decade of experience building backend-heavy Ruby on Rails applications across e-government, e-commerce, due diligence, and EdTech. He combines hands-on engineering—contributing to notable open-source projects like Solidus and Consul Democracy—with leadership of small distributed teams and measurable impact on product performance and payments integrations. Angel has a track record of improving test suites, optimizing DB queries, and architecting role-based authorization and notification systems that scaled business needs. A remote-first practitioner based in Valencia, he pairs startup agility with structured processes (RFCs, sprints, mentorship) and a knack for shipping reliable, production-ready features quickly. He’s as comfortable refactoring legacy code and fixing flaky specs as he is designing data pipelines and BI models to drive decisions. Outside work he’s a massive music nerd who’s actively looking to bring his backend and product sensibilities into FinTech or music-focused products.
