Summary
Javier Galarza is a Software Architect with 13 years of hands-on experience building backend systems, leading microservices teams, and operating Linux-based infrastructure from Peru. He began as a full‑stack developer (Python, PHP, PostgreSQL) and evolved into a Node.js specialist who designs REST APIs, CLIs, and event-driven services while championing best practices and language-agnostic solutions. Javier combines backend engineering with deep sysadmin skills—Ansible, bash, Terraform, and PostgreSQL administration—to own both code and the production environments it runs on. As team lead for Nearpod’s reporting pod and an active member of the Rebelstack open-source community, he bridges product needs and developer tooling, including LTI integrations and cloud provisioning. He’s an avid open-source and Linux enthusiast with practical experience building DB metrics platforms and developer workflows, and he’s currently exploring Rust to diversify his toolset.
