Miguel Alatzar is a Staff Software Engineer in Asheville, NC with 13 years of experience turning complex ideas into working prototypes—often overnight. He blends full-stack, mobile (iOS/React Native), and backend expertise, having contributed to the open-source Mattermost ecosystem across web, mobile, Redux, and server components. As a former CTO and co-founder of multiple startups, he pairs hands-on coding with product-minded engineering, shipping features from admin consoles to push-notification systems. His work shows a strong focus on code quality, testing, and real-time systems, including websocket and notification refactors for Mattermost. Comfortable across languages and platforms, he has a track record building RFID and security prototypes as well as scalable CLI/server tooling. Unusually for an engineer with an astrophysics background, he prefers learning curves to breakfasts—quick to adopt new stacks and iterate to production.
