Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFelipe Zapata is a senior software engineer and technical leader with 13 years of experience building scalable, compliance-focused systems and leading cross-functional teams. Based in Amsterdam and originally from Colombia, he co-founded Falcon to automate high-volume, compliance-heavy healthcare workflows and now drives engineering at Exante after senior roles at Varsity Tutors and Bunny Studio. He blends full-stack hands-on coding with product-led leadership—migrating critical systems, improving monetization, and slashing technical debt while introducing CI/CD and career frameworks. A scientific-minded contributor to open-source C++ linear algebra (improving Gram–Schmidt orthogonalization in the Spectra library), he brings both numerical rigor and practical delivery to complex backend problems. Felipe’s strength is turning domain complexity—especially in regulated spaces like healthcare—into auditable, reliable automation that reduces human error.
