Senior🎓
Top SchoolHéctor Arroyo is a software engineer with 14 years of experience building web applications, information retrieval systems, and backend microservices for clients across Spain and the USA. He has shipped high-traffic entertainment sites, air-traffic management components for drones, and R&D-focused platforms, combining pragmatic object-oriented design with common software patterns. Comfortable across stacks—from PHP/Laravel and Java/Spring Boot to C++ gateways and Dockerized deployments—he often owns both greenfield projects and the evolution of legacy systems. At Empathy and Cabify he delivered production-grade microservices for large retailers and corporate clients, and more recently contributed to open-source e-assessment tooling at Open Assessment Technologies before joining Wikimedia Foundation.
