Summary
Manuel Rojo is a backend-focused Software Development Engineer with eight years of hands-on experience and five years in web development specializing in Elixir/Phoenix, PostgreSQL and Redis. He has built and led small backend teams, designed microservice architectures and high-throughput APIs for insurance and e-commerce products, delivering measurable performance improvements like 20x faster responses and 99.9% uptime. Equally comfortable across stacks, Manuel pairs backend expertise (Go, Java, Django, Rails) with modern front-end frameworks (React, Svelte, Next.js) and pragmatic DevOps practices (Docker, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana). A lifelong tinkerer who started coding at eight, he also brings hardware and robotics experience—teaching Java for robotics and hacking on x64/ARM—giving him a systems-minded view of software design. Now at Audible, he is progressing toward software architecture roles, combining domain-driven design and performance-first engineering to solve complex production challenges.
