Top SchoolLuis Nell is a Vienna-based Tech Lead with 16 years of hands-on experience building real-time, scalable web systems and leading technical architecture and security for both clients and internal products at Codista.

Comfortable across the full stack, Luis has built performant crawlers, realtime connection backends, and production-grade deployments using Python, Django, Cassandra and ElasticSearch. As a self-starter who ran his own consultancy early in his career, he balances client empathy with rigorous engineering practices and a knack for simplifying complex build and installation challenges.
