Senior🎓
Top SchoolGustavo Avila is a Senior Software Engineer based in Bogotá with over 10 years building reliable, scalable web and mobile systems across startups and product companies. He combines full‑stack expertise—from Ruby on Rails backends and Go stream processing to React/TypeScript front ends and native Android—while owning infrastructure migrations, CI/CD, and performance troubleshooting. At Moove It and Nomo FOMO he led API refactors, monorepo migrations, and Android launches, and at Mensajeros Urbanos he built a real‑time streaming platform from scratch. Comfortable across cloud (AWS), databases (Postgres, MySQL, Redshift), and observability tools, he also mentors engineers and conducts technical hiring. Colleagues rely on him to spot subtle performance bottlenecks and convert messy legacy code into maintainable, testable systems. He brings a pragmatic, hands‑on approach informed by an engineering degree from Universidad de los Andes and a track record of shipping production software end‑to‑end.
