Summary
Nicolas Rotta is a hands-on software engineering manager in London with 10 years of experience leading cross-functional teams to deliver large-scale, real-time data and platform programmes. Currently at Meta, he has a track record of building and migrating resilient systems—from launching a Kafka-based real-time data platform at Trainline to stabilising and evolving product platforms as CTO at multiple startups.
