Top SchoolDiego Algorta is a Senior Software Engineer with 18 years of experience designing and shipping SaaS B2C/B2B web applications, primarily with Ruby on Rails and cloud-hosted CI/CD pipelines.

A longtime advocate for remote work and agile methods, he has founded and run teams and events (including co-organizing RubyConf Uruguay) across Latin America and internationally.
