Senior🎓
Top SchoolDiego Cornejo is a seasoned engineering leader with 12+ years building cloud-native, scalable systems and currently serving as Senior Director of Engineering and Platform at OKA, where he’s helping launch a fully digital bank. He blends hands-on expertise in TypeScript, Rust, AWS CDK and Nix with strong architectural judgment and metrics-driven delivery (post-production bug rates, code churn).

His background spans startups, enterprise transformation, and founding a tech startup, giving him a pragmatic lens for scaling monoliths to microservices and automating toil. He pairs technical leadership with formal study in ML and growth, reflecting a habit of continuous learning and experimentation. Based in Lima, he quietly prioritizes measurable impact: improving team performance and product reliability through culture, architecture, and observable engineering metrics.
