Senior🎓
Top SchoolRoberto Nygaard is a seasoned software engineer with 14 years of experience building scalable web and product-focused systems, currently contributing to Stripe in London. He co-founded and served as CTO of Snap.hr, leading engineering, product decisions and a migration to modern stacks while remaining largely hands-on across Symfony, microservices, GraphQL and cloud tooling. Prior roles include engineering leadership at ReadWave where he built auto-scaling infrastructure and high-throughput analytics pipelines, showcasing strength in systems that handle viral traffic and heavy data ingestion. An investor and operator with Nodes Ventures, he backs early-stage startups and brings founder empathy to product and technical strategy. Originally from Tenerife, he blends a bias-for-action mentality—shipping pragmatic, fast iterations over waiting for perfection—with deep experience in recruitment, analytics and fintech domains. Beyond code, he frequently switches hats between engineering, hiring and advising, keeping about 75% hands-on even as teams scaled.
