Summary
José Almaguer is a pragmatic backend engineer with 11 years of experience designing resilient, distributed systems and a strong taste for functional programming. He has shipped event-sourced microservices and high-throughput ingestion pipelines using Scala/Akka, Elixir, and Python, and has hands-on experience with Kafka, gRPC, NATS Jetstream and cloud-native data stores like Cassandra, MongoDB and Postgres. José favors first-principles reasoning: he prototypes proof-of-concepts to validate architectures before committing to production designs, and applies patterns such as the Actor model, dependency injection and hexagonal layering. His recent work includes research-driven backend development for NeRF and Gaussian Splatting pipelines, blending ML frameworks (PyTorch/OpenGL) with robust inter-service coordination. Comfortable across fullstack boundaries, he pairs backend rigor with frontend VueJS when needed and has supported DevOps and infra automation in AWS/Terraform contexts. Based in Granada, Spain, he brings a research-minded curiosity—rooted in academic teaching early in his career—that helps him translate complex domain constraints into pragmatic, performant systems.
