Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSergio Tapia is a founding engineer and technology leader with 11 years of experience building and scaling engineering teams from seed to Series D while shipping production-grade AI and HIPAA-compliant systems. Based in Miami and raised in Bolivia, he combines hands-on development in Elixir, TypeScript, React and Nim with pragmatic architecture and product-minded execution—often favoring fast, maintainable solutions that keep options open for the next six months. At Nabi he single-handedly built a full HIPAA backend, AI-powered referral and eligibility pipelines, and a 10x faster patient booking flow, plus zero-downtime EMR migrations. Previously he grew Papa’s engineering org from 25 to 450 people, transitioned offshore teams to a US remote-first model, and established culture, career ladders, and automation practices. He mentors engineers to promote from within and sets company-wide knowledge-sharing rituals, balancing autonomy with clear strategic direction. A founder and frequent consultant, Sergio pairs pragmatic clean-coding skepticism (per his GitHub quip) with durable systems design across diverse stacks.
