Summary
🤩
RockstarManuel Spigolon is a Senior Software Developer with 10 years of experience building high-performance backend systems and leading small engineering teams across Italy. He started as a Java developer and evolved into a Node.js/Fastify specialist, contributing notable fixes and performance improvements to widely used open-source projects like fastify, fast-json-stringify, and the Mercurius GraphQL server. At Nearform he continues to focus on scalable APIs and schema-driven tooling, drawing on past roles where he designed big-data services and managed cross-functional delivery in regulated environments. Manuel combines hands-on problem solving—debugging complex $ref and federation issues—with practical team leadership and product-minded engineering. Fluent in self-learning (and now a newbie Italian speaker on his GitHub), he brings a pragmatic blend of performance tuning, API design, and real-world delivery experience.
