Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEmilio Piñeiro is a Senior Software Engineer based in Madrid with four years of professional experience building full-stack and systems-level features for large-scale products. Currently at Elastic, he contributes to both back-end/DevOps work—improving containerized Heartbeat stability and security for a widely used Elastic Beats component—and front-end UX and e2e testing within Kibana. His background spans game-industry and enterprise roles (EA, Qindel) and hands-on IT service engineering, giving him a pragmatic blend of customer-facing support and product development. Comfortable across JavaScript front ends and systems programming for containers (including ARM seccomp and permission hardening), he brings reliability-focused engineering and a tester’s mindset to production systems. An uncommon strength is his ability to move between low-level container security changes and polished UI improvements, helping bridge ops and product needs.
