Jorge Zaballa is a seasoned lead engineer and technology leader based in La Paz, Bolivia, with nearly three decades of IT experience and a recent focus on cloud-native SaaS and serverless architectures. He currently leads engineering at Flagsmith, owning SDKs across Node.js, .NET and JavaScript while contributing full-stack to integrations such as GitHub and JIRA for large enterprise customers. Jorge combines hands-on development—Python Lambdas, Django microservices, DynamoDB and PostgreSQL—with product and people leadership honed as a former CTO, engineering director, and serial PM. He’s delivered fast-moving projects from mobile WebRTC apps to healthcare booking systems and pandemic-era access control platforms, often shipping production-ready solutions on tight timelines. Known for improving developer experience and ops (e.g., driving UTF-8 DB migrations and SDLC enhancements), he brings pragmatic architectural judgment and a habit of elevating team performance. His background as an educator and public-sector CTO also gives him a rare blend of technical depth, process discipline, and stakeholder empathy.
