Javier Cansino is a Senior Software Engineer based in London with 16 years of experience building resilient, low-maintenance data and backend systems for startups and scale-ups. He blends a strong data engineering focus—BigQuery, Apache Beam, Airflow—with pragmatic infrastructure choices like Terraform, Kubernetes and GCP to deliver business-impacting features quickly. Javier has deep hands-on roots in embedded and firmware work, vintage kernel tinkering, and music-server backend contributions (notably refactoring Mopidy’s core playback and MPD frontend), which give him a rare full-stack systems perspective. As co-founder of Txomon LTD he advises early-stage teams on architecture, hiring and delivery practices, prioritizing simplicity and operational stability. He prefers fully remote, people-centered teams and thrives under managers who enable growth and clear leadership. Known for shipping practical, well-tested solutions, he often opts for Python-first implementations and chooses Go where performance matters.
