Summary
Rodrigo Fernández is a Senior Engineering Manager with 24+ years in software, currently leading the Model Development Lifecycle team at Domino Data Lab and earlier growing high-performing backend teams at Medallia. He combines deep hands-on expertise in low-latency, high-throughput systems (C++, Java, Python) with a track record of refactoring legacy platforms, improving observability, and operationalizing on-call and QA practices. He’s skilled at sourcing and interviewing technical talent, running design-heavy technical conversations, and translating product roadmaps into team-owned execution. Rodrigo pairs strong OOP and systems design knowledge with a pragmatic leadership style that emphasizes ownership, learning from failure, and distributed responsibility. Unusually for a tech leader, he brings a creative arts background—published game composer, classically trained pianist and visual artist—which fuels his curiosity and persistent side projects. Based in Argentina, he operates natively in Spanish and English and stays actively engaged in technical decisions while coaching career growth.
