Fernando Stecconi is a Senior Lead Software Engineer based in Barcelona with roughly two decades of hands-on experience building systems that span networking optimization, payment gateways, e-commerce customizers and ed‑tech platforms. He combines backend strengths in Python, PostgreSQL, Redis and Linux/Bash with substantial frontend and full‑stack experience across Ruby on Rails, Elm, JavaScript and TypeScript, and has a particular interest in functional languages like Haskell and Elixir. Fernando has led teams from small pairs to multi‑dozen engineering groups, implementing CI/CD, pair programming and processes from XP to Shape Up and Scrum to deliver reliable, production-grade systems. His recent roles include designing distributed control and data processing architectures, building custom testing frameworks for virtualized testbeds, and shipping a fast, search‑centric university platform with China deployment experience. Equally comfortable writing low‑level Linux tooling and high‑level web apps, he brings a pragmatic curiosity—often favoring elegant, testable SQL and event‑sourced designs over glitzy frameworks. Outside work he’s an avid mountain enthusiast and paragliding practitioner, a detail that mirrors his taste for technical challenges with high viewpoints.
