Summary
Miguel Fuertes is a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience designing backend platforms and leading cloud-native projects across Spain and Europe. He has driven migrations and built recommendation, search and SEO-focused systems using Ruby on Rails, Elixir, PostgreSQL, OpenSearch and AWS, and has led Azure-centric development and CI/CD for high-profile clients like Ligue de Football Professionnel and Microsoft Sports. At Gartner he combined hands-on coding with platform ownership—migrating Solr to OpenSearch, creating personalization services and leading sitemap and monitoring initiatives—demonstrating a talent for turning legacy systems into scalable, observable services. Now at Wembley Studios, he continues to architect resilient backends while bringing a rare blend of program management, developer leadership and deep infrastructure experience. Unusually for a backend specialist, his academic background spans both computer and biomedical engineering plus teacher training, reflecting a pragmatic, cross-disciplinary approach to problem solving.
