Senior🎓
Top SchoolFederico Vela is a seasoned Full Stack Principal Developer with over 20 years of programming experience and a decade of focused enterprise-level delivery, currently based in Colombia. He designs and operates high-availability transactional systems and bespoke ETL/ML pipelines that routinely handle tens of thousands of requests per second, blending PostgreSQL, Node.js, and Python for robust production workloads. As co-founder and CTO at Tulipán1637 he led two teams and cut data-processing time by 70% through tight integration of AI scripts into a custom NodeJS+Postgres pipeline, showing both product and systems-level leadership. His background spans legacy-to-cloud migrations and real-time architectures, using tools from Neo4J and Elasticsearch to Grafana and AWS, and he is comfortable across front-end frameworks like React and Vue. Notably, he pairs deep systems experience (JEE, COBOL integration) with modern practices (CI/CD, WebSockets, GraphQL), enabling pragmatic modernization of mission-critical platforms. Federico combines entrepreneurial grit with a mathematician’s rigor—turning complex requirements into maintainable, high-throughput production systems.
