David Romero is a seasoned C++ and systems engineer with nine years of professional experience building high-performance, distributed backends and storage infrastructure, most recently leading development at MEGA Cloud Services. His career began in academic compiler research and includes R&D stints at IBM Haifa and INRIA where he applied vectorization and JIT-focused optimizations to real-world compilers—expertise he later brought to production services at Amadeus and Troovel. As a hands-on leader and product owner at Destinia he bridged product, UX and engineering to redesign holiday sales systems and dynamic packaging frameworks. He combines deep low-level performance work (including a notable contribution to the MEGA C++ SDK logging system with log rotation, compression and thread-safety fixes) with frontend- and product-facing experience in web and AI-driven recommendation systems. Comfortable switching between research and delivery, he is fluent in C++ server architecture, asynchronous systems, and pragmatic cost/performance trade-offs. Based in Valencia, he brings a researcher's curiosity to production challenges and a track record of turning compiler and optimization know-how into scalable cloud services.
