Summary
José Calvo is a software engineer with 15 years of experience building web, real-time and embedded systems, currently at Hugging Face and co-founder/CTO of imglab. He combines a pragmatic, test-driven approach with deep hands-on expertise in dynamic languages (Elixir, Ruby, Python) and performance-tuned search and recommendation systems powered by ElasticSearch and machine learning. His background spans R&D, OpenGL-based game engines and handwriting recognition (Objective-C and C), plus founding products such as a metrics/IoT service (Futon) and an indie game studio (Monsterzen). Known for producing maintainable OO designs and developer-friendly libraries (author of the Genetica Ruby gem), he moves comfortably between low-level graphics/embedded work and scalable cloud services. Based in Madrid, he brings an entrepreneurial mindset that blends research-driven experimentation with production-grade engineering.
