Summary
Jose Ruiz is a principal-level architect and technical lead specializing in monitoring and observability, with 11 years of experience building and operating high-throughput distributed systems. At BBVA he leads the in-house observability platform that ingests over one million spans/logs per second, defining multi-region, HA architectures and backend choices (Go, Elasticsearch, TS engines) for regulated banking services. He combines hands-on backend and big data development (Java/Scala) with operational rigor—CI/CD governance, TDD/BDD, secure communications (TLS/mTLS), and incident leadership—to prevent long-term technical debt. Based in Tres Cantos, Spain, he brings a pragmatic balance of architect-level decision making and code-level familiarity from roles spanning big data, telecoms, and enterprise systems. An observability-focused engineer who thinks like an operator, he’s repeatedly chosen to validate final technical readiness before production rollouts.
