Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolFernando Sáenz is an engineering leader with 15 years of experience building and scaling payment and e-commerce platforms, most recently as VP of Engineering at Conekta where he led 150 engineers and raised system availability from 94% to 99.99%. He blends hands-on architecture and platform work—refactoring Ruby on Rails monoliths, designing Kafka-based event buses, and managing a hybrid estate of 80+ microservices across Go, .NET, Python, Node and Ruby—with people leadership and DevOps transformation. Fernando has a strong product-minded track record shipping fast MVPs (e.g., a React Native geolocation/security app) and automating CI/CD and release pipelines to accelerate delivery. He brings cross-border experience from Latin America to Madrid and is an Endeavor Leadership Development Program alumnus who champions autonomy, resilience, and “you build it, you run it” ownership. Less obvious: he pairs deep backend reliability work with practical release engineering improvements that demystify deployment for entire teams, improving both velocity and operational accountability.
