Senior🎓
Top SchoolCarlos Abalde is a pragmatic CTO and seasoned backend engineer with over two decades of experience designing scalable, efficient, highly available systems for high-traffic services and enterprise customers. He moved from academia to industry after building distributed systems and Erlang/OTP expertise at the University of A Coruña, then helped operate massive messaging and media backends at Tuenti before founding R&D-focused ventures. At Allenta he leads engineering and R&D, delivering C- and Go-powered performance solutions—paywalling, traffic prioritization, Varnish extensions and a rock-solid GELF proxy—used by major media and e-commerce platforms worldwide. He prefers solving hard infrastructure problems to fiddling with UIs, and his toolset spans C, Go, Python, VCL and systems monitoring integrations. Comfortable both shipping production code and mentoring small teams, he treats client projects like internal products, emphasizing simplicity, performance and minimal BS. Despite a low opinion of social feeds, he maintains a public professional CV to showcase a rare blend of academic rigor and hands-on production engineering.
