Senior🎓
Top SchoolJosé Durães is a cheerful, Barcelona-based software engineer with 14 years of experience building scalable web applications across backend and full-stack roles, and a practical streak in DevOps. He has designed and operated systems at scale at Skyscanner and Hotjar, working with Java, Python, Kubernetes, Kafka, Spark and AWS, and has hands-on experience migrating monoliths to microservices and automating CI/CD pipelines. Comfortable across the stack, he has led backend APIs, optimized performance, and contributed to front-end projects using React and AngularJS earlier in his career.
