Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMiguel Iglesias is a Principal Engineer based in New York with 11 years of experience building production systems and APIs, particularly using Scala and Akka. He frames himself as "an engineer who makes software," blending systems thinking with hands-on implementation across back-end, full-stack, and distributed services. His background spans fintech and SaaS—designing payment and ISO-8583 integrations early in his career and leading platform work at x.ai, Bizzabo, Coremont and now FIA Tech. He frequently architects services around MongoDB, AWS, Docker and TypeScript front-ends while driving migrations from callback to promise-based architectures. Collected leadership roles show he balances tech lead responsibilities with deep implementation skills, often owning API design and real-time notification systems. Unusually for a senior software practitioner, his academic roots are in metallurgical engineering, reflecting a methodical, engineering-first approach to software problems.
