Summary
Diego Moraes is a Senior Software Engineer from Uruguay with six years building high-throughput, user-facing systems—currently helping optimize Mercado Libre’s search platform that handles millions of queries per minute. He’s a polyglot developer comfortable across Python (Django, async stacks), C#/.NET, React, and cloud-native tooling (Docker, EC2, RDS, CI/CD), and has led cross-team integrations and performance improvements in microservices architectures. Diego combines hands-on implementation with mentoring and technical decision-making, having progressed from developer to tech lead roles and now guiding search reliability and efficiencies. Curious and self-taught by nature, he pairs pragmatic problem-solving with a background in seller-facing product flows and observability (Kibana, New Relic, Datadog), and even brings an unexpected attention to detail from his barista training.
