Summary
Roger Sanchez is a Senior Software Engineer with 13 years of professional experience and nine years focused intensively on Python backend development, currently based in Montevideo after starting his career in Venezuela. He has delivered production systems for both startups and enterprise-grade products, from multi-million-dollar integrations like Certn–Workday to consumer-scale apps such as MapMyFitness. Roger specializes in migrating and modernizing backends—recently moving systems from Tornado to Sanic, and leading Kafka and MySQL migrations to cloud-managed platforms—while improving observability, CI/CD, and local development workflows. He’s led small engineering teams, established quality tooling (SonarCloud, Jenkins) and containerized microservice stacks to boost developer velocity and reliability. Comfortable across Django, FastAPI/aiohttp, Celery, PostgreSQL and Kubernetes, he combines pragmatic architecture with hands-on coding and mentoring. Less obvious: he repeatedly helps teams run full backends locally to dramatically speed debugging, a practical habit that often unlocks faster delivery.
