Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPere Villega is an independent senior software consultant and principal engineer based in Barcelona with over 20 years of experience building high-impact, revenue-driving systems across finance, media, e-commerce, insurance and education. He spans the full stack—front-end, back-end, DevOps and data engineering—and has repeatedly turned technical vision into measurable business outcomes, from boosting ad revenue by £20M to a 350% increase in account onboarding. Pere co-founded Omnear and helped build ArtAML into a top-2 AML platform for the art market, applying functional programming and event-sourcing to solve complex ownership-tracking problems. He excels at bridging management and engineering, improving delivery cadence and cutting engineering effort (often by 40–60%) through systems thinking, automation and cloud-native architectures. A seasoned mentor and speaker, he combines hands-on implementation—low-latency streaming systems and high-throughput pipelines—with strategic consultancy for CTOs and revenue teams. Unusually for a senior engineer, he remains a freelancer rooted in Barcelona while contributing to niche AML and sports-data products used in production by major vendors.
