Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFederico Ragona is a Lead Engineer based in Amsterdam with 12 years of experience designing and shipping backend systems, particularly in Scala and functional programming paradigms. He started in Java but now prefers Scala and has explored Clojure(script) and Haskell, bringing a strong taste for immutable, expressive designs to production services. His career spans startups and enterprises—most recently leading engineering at Source.ag after senior roles at Shell Recharge, Royal Schiphol Group and NewMotion—where he combined backend, data and team leadership. Federico contributes to open-source projects such as the spark-jobserver, enhancing its UI to surface job and context status for Spark users, reflecting a full-stack pragmatism beyond pure backend work. He is comfortable evolving distributed systems (Apache Spark) and building REST APIs, and often bridges the gap between infrastructure and user-facing tooling. Colleagues know him for pragmatic refactors that keep systems maintainable while improving developer and operator experience.
