Top SchoolLaura Ballestar is a software engineer with eight years of experience building CI/CD-driven, cloud-native platforms and developer tooling from Barcelona.

Her career includes transitioning projects to open source (notably Celonis’ Kafka EMS connector) and improving developer experience through ephemeral environments and reproducible pipelines.
