Rodrigo García is a software engineering leader with 13 years of experience building high-performance, distributed systems and observability platforms across payments and travel tech. Currently managing the SRE/Foundations observability team at Mercado Libre, he brings hands-on expertise in C/C++, CUDA/GPGPU, real-time 3D graphics, big data streaming (Kafka, Hadoop) and cloud platforms (AWS, OpenStack). He has led tracking, attribution and feature experimentation efforts at Despegar, combining metrics-driven product decisions with robust ingestion and storage architectures (Cassandra, ElasticSearch).
