Ivan Agüera is a backend engineer based in Lisbon with over a decade of hands-on experience building cloud-native, serverless, and blockchain-backed systems. He has repeatedly delivered high-performance, data-intensive services using TypeScript, Node.js and AWS (Lambda, SQS, SNS, DynamoDB) with infrastructure-as-code via Terraform. His background spans fintech and Web3—designing on-chain event processors, NFT and token mechanics, and private-blockchain KYC solutions—while also tackling IoT event pipelines and low-latency pricing systems. Comfortable across the stack, he blends functional-programming practices and strong testing habits with pragmatic performance tuning and observability (Datadog, AWS console). Known for working in small teams and mentoring peers, he brings both production-first discipline and research curiosity rooted in an MSc in Computer Science. An interesting thread through his career is a continual shift from embedded and semantic-research roots to modern serverless and blockchain architectures, showing a rare breadth of systems-level intuition.
