Software Engineer at HCLTech
Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGerard Torrent is a pragmatic software engineer with 8+ years building high-performance, fault-tolerant systems in C/C++ and Java across financial, scientific, gaming and public-sector domains. He has led technical teams and delivered mission-critical projects—from a C-based transaction engine handling 2,000+ tx/sec for IGT’s lottery platforms to large-scale Java microservices for customs, transport and social-declaration systems. Comfortable across the stack, Gerard combines low-level expertise (multithreading, OpenGL, Linux, gdb) with modern backend tooling (Spring Boot, Kafka/RabbitMQ, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Kubernetes). His background in mathematics and risk modelling informs a rigorous, data-driven approach to performance and correctness that few generalist engineers bring. Based in Barcelona, he’s an open-source advocate and lifelong student of programming and applied mathematics, currently expanding his solution-architecture skills through postgraduate studies.
