Summary
Cristóbal Orellana is a backend-oriented full stack engineer with 11 years of professional experience and 6+ years focused on building APIs, BFFs, microservices, and cloud-native platforms using Go, Node.js/NestJS, and Java Spring Boot. He specializes in turning complex product requirements into reliable, maintainable systems—clear APIs, automated CI/CD, health checks, tracing, and contract tests—so services scale without becoming painful to operate. Experienced across education, retail, healthcare, telecom, and enterprise projects (including Falabella, Axity, Rokket Labs and EPYS), he blends backend architecture with practical observability and cloud delivery on GCP (Cloud Run, GKE, Pub/Sub). Comfortable with frontend stacks like React and Next.js, his strongest value is automating delivery and keeping systems simple to operate under real production traffic. Based in Dublin but originally from Chile, he works freelance and is open to remote backend or backend-oriented full stack roles where reliability, clean architecture, and delivery speed matter. An understated strength is his habit of surfacing production diagnostics early in designs, reducing on-call toil as teams grow.
