Summary
José Gutiérrez is a senior software engineer based in Sweden with over 16 years of C++ expertise and 12+ years in Java, known for designing high-concurrency client-server systems and scalable web platforms. He has led architecture and Java practice teams, most recently delivering production systems at Klarna and now at Kustom, blending hands-on implementation with technical leadership. His background spans full SDLC work across distributed, n-tier and middleware architectures, with deep experience in performance optimization, refactoring and design patterns.
