Summary
Miguel Magalhaes is a software engineer with 11 years’ experience building large-scale, data-intensive systems and currently works on planetary-scale infrastructure for Azure Observability’s near real-time Metrics platform at Microsoft. His background spans image processing and computer vision for big data, web GIS applications, and research in multi-object deep tracking, giving him a strong bridge between applied research and production engineering. He’s fluent in designing high-availability distributed systems and has repeatedly shipped observability and monitoring infrastructure that serves Microsoft-wide needs. Beyond his day job he’s an active community builder in the Python ecosystem—founder of PyCon Portugal, organizer for DjangoCon Europe, and a member of the EuroPython Society and Django Software Foundation—bringing open source and events experience to his technical work. Miguel’s multinational academic training in computational imaging and software engineering underpins a pragmatic, research-informed approach to solving complex engineering problems.
