Summary
Marcelo Rosas is a hands-on engineering leader and CEO based in Uruguay with over 15 years in software development and nine years in senior leadership roles, specializing in e-commerce and large-scale infrastructure. He combines fractional CTO responsibilities with people management, technical sales, and software architecture, having rebuilt travel and healthcare e-commerce platforms and led data infrastructure migrations supporting billions of requests per month. Marcelo has a track record of assembling and scaling teams quickly—rebuilding maintenance squads, hiring for rapid growth, and doubling teams where needed—while improving delivery metrics and retention through clear career frameworks and process changes. He is comfortable switching between strategic roadmaps and gatekeeping architecture details, having driven migrations from monoliths to microservices and owned payment and contact services that reduced costs. Not obvious from his title, he frequently acts as a multiplier: mentoring engineers, designing compensation ladders, and implementing duty engineering practices that materially improved throughput. Trained as a software engineer at Universidad ORT Uruguay, he blends deep technical craft with commercial and operational leadership across startups and enterprise engagements.
