Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCarlos Pérez-aradros is a Head of Engineering with 14 years of experience building and leading backend teams for cloud-native observability and database platforms, currently driving engineering at Xata.io from La Rioja, Spain. He progressed through hands-on principal and tech lead roles, shaping scalable backend systems and integrations at Elastic and Xata, and earlier contributed to long-running open-source projects like SOGo and Elastic Beats. Carlos combines low-level protocol and indexing expertise (MAPIStore/OpenChange work on SOGo) with production-focused telemetry and metrics engineering (Apache and kubelet work in Beats), giving him a rare mix of systems-level knowledge and product delivery. Known for pragmatic refactors and restoring multitenancy in complex codebases, he excels at turning legacy complexity into maintainable, test-covered platforms.

SOGo is a very fast and scalable modern collaboration suite (groupware). It offers calendaring, address book management, and a full-featured Webmail client along with resource sharing and permission handling. It also makes use of documented standards (IMAP, CalDAV, CardDAV, etc.) and thereby provides native connectivity (without plugins) to many clients such as Microsoft Outlook, Apple iCal, the iPhone, Mozilla Lightning, and a plethora of mobile devices.
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:14 commits in 2 years 3 months
Contributions summary:Carlos focused on back-end development within the OpenChange module, specifically related to MAPIStore integration for the SOGo collaboration suite. They refactored code to use indexing backends, converted indexing code, and restored multitenancy changes. Key changes involve modifications to core data structures (struct indexing_context) and interactions with APIs.
