Senior🎓
Top SchoolFranco Ascarza is a senior software engineer specializing in API development, microservices, and cloud-native modernization with roughly a decade of professional experience focused on digital banking. At Scotiabank he led migrations to Kubernetes and Java 17, built biometric and facial-recognition fraud prevention, and delivered KYC-compliant digital onboarding and a digital loan portal that materially boosted disbursements and cut processing times. He has a strong track record of cost and risk reduction—migrating OTP services in-house and replacing SMS with PoK reduced operational costs by ~40% while lowering fraud. Franco combines deep Java/Spring Boot expertise with practical experience in Kubernetes, Anthos, Docker, OAuth2, and enterprise databases to deliver reliable, secure APIs at scale. He also built data-driven compliance tooling for food-service supply chains earlier in his career, showing an ability to apply financial-grade engineering patterns to other industries. Based in Peru, he pairs a master’s in computer science with hands-on implementation of high-impact production systems that improve both customer experience and operational efficiency.
