Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarcos Lopez Gonzalez is a software engineer based in Oviedo, Spain, with around a decade of experience specializing in Java, microservices and big data-powered backend systems. At GBIF he led API and data-ingestion projects, migrating pipelines to modern stacks (Apache Beam, Avro, Elasticsearch) and modernizing microservices to Spring Boot while improving CI/CD, testing and observability. He combines hands-on distributed-systems work—Hadoop ecosystem, Spark, RabbitMQ—with practical devops automation and occasional React front-end pieces to deliver end-to-end products. An active technical writer and open-source contributor, his contributions to the popular eugenp/tutorials repo show a focus on core-Java robustness (exception handling, root-cause utilities) and date/age calculations. Curious and product-oriented, he pairs engineering craftsmanship with product thinking to make data accessible and usable for real users.
