Top SchoolJavier Niño is a seasoned database developer and engineering leader with 16 years of experience building scalable back-end systems and storage architectures from Madrid. He has led technical strategy and hands-on teams at Sketch—where he drove a DVCS-inspired versioned storage layer, reverse-engineered a Figma-to-Sketch converter, and cut cloud storage costs by ~45%—and has deep operational experience migrating large databases with minimal downtime. Javier’s background spans geospatial and semantic search systems (notably contributions to CARTO’s location intelligence stack) and low-level device management on Linux, reflecting comfort across databases, Rust/Python backends, and performance-critical engineering. Currently focused on semantic search indexing at Nuclia, he combines pragmatic leadership with a researcher’s attention to detail from his academic work in security and the semantic web.
