Summary
Julian Merlo is a Sr. Backend Software Engineer with six years building scalable, event-driven systems across fintech, e-commerce, and blockchain domains. He has driven migrations from legacy platforms to clean, modular architectures and optimized high-throughput billing and transaction-monitoring pipelines at companies like PedidosYa, Mercado Libre, and xLabs. Comfortable across Node, TypeScript, Go, Kotlin and cloud-native tooling (Kubernetes, Redis, Postgres, AWS), he focuses on reliability, observability, and efficiency in distributed environments. At xLabs he helped design multi-chain transaction consumers and event workflows spanning EVM and several layer-1 networks—an uncommon specialization for backend engineers in Argentina. A proactive, team-oriented developer, he pairs strong software-practice discipline (design patterns, tests, clean architecture) with curiosity for new technologies and practical operational metrics.
