Mario Fernandez is a Staff Software Engineer with 16 years of experience building resilient, full-stack systems and shaping delivery practices across large organisations. Based in the Greater Munich area, he has led engineering teams at Meta, Wayfair, ThoughtWorks and XING, driving architecture, continuous delivery, TDD and platform work that reduced error rates and sped up releases. He combines front-end expertise (React, TypeScript, module federation) with backend and infrastructure skills (Java/SpringBoot, Kubernetes, Terraform) to turn monoliths into decoupled, observable systems. At Wayfair he architected a remote-navigation solution and automated burn-rate SLOs that cut error rates by orders of magnitude; at Meta he focused on integrity flows to prevent account compromise. A regular speaker and writer, he also contributes to open-source tooling—having added Emacs package recipes and integrations—reflecting a hands-on curiosity that often keeps him thinking about software after hours.
