Senior🎓
Top SchoolManuel Franco is a Senior Python Data Engineer and AWS Certified Cloud Architect based in Dublin with 12 years of experience building scalable, cost-optimized cloud systems for finance and travel industries. He combines deep backend expertise in Python (FastAPI, asyncio, SQLAlchemy) with hands-on infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible, Packer) and serverless design to reduce operational overhead and accelerate delivery. Manuel has led and mentored engineering teams, introduced rigorous testing and TDD practices, and automated multi-account AWS environments to improve security and deployment stability. His recent roles span high-concurrency automation for large enterprise fleets to bank-grade financial data systems, reflecting strong domain experience in regulated environments. Not obviously visible from titles, he repeatedly pairs prototype front-end work (React) with production-grade cloud platforms to shorten feedback loops. He is pragmatic about trade-offs, prioritizing measurable cost savings and automation that scales across teams.
