Joan Arnau is a Senior Staff Software Engineer with 17 years of hands-on experience designing and shipping cloud-native microservices, infrastructure automation, and DevOps at the intersection of research and enterprise. He has led and mentored cross-functional teams through agile practices while building production systems in Go—spanning mail classification, identity federation, policy enforcement, unified file access, and workflow orchestration with Cadence/Temporal. Joan pioneered full virtualization and automated public cloud migration for a research institution’s disaster recovery plan and empowered scientists to run containerized compute pipelines on Kubernetes with Singularity and SLURM. Comfortable from on-prem storage farms to AWS services (Terraform, ECS, Aurora) and observability stacks (Prometheus, OpenTelemetry), he blends deep technical craftsmanship with operational ownership. His background uniquely combines medical training and academic teaching with long-term engineering leadership, giving him a pragmatic, user-centered approach to complex system design.
