Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTomas Alabes is a hands-on technical leader and architect with 13+ years building cloud-native platforms, distributed systems, and full-stack products, currently based in Amsterdam. He has led large-scale cloud migrations and platform rewrites at Oracle—designing multi-region Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability and multi-tenant architectures—and later brought that rigor to an ESA-backed aerospace startup as a founding engineer. Comfortable from Raspberry Pi edge fleets to Kafka clusters and GraphQL APIs, Tomas blends infrastructure, product thinking, and FinOps to keep systems reliable and cost-efficient. He is a pragmatic simplifier who intentionally trades distributed complexity for operational simplicity when it benefits reliability and run-rate. An active open-source contributor, he has improved core front-end libraries (notably contributing fixes to the Raphael JS vector library) reflecting a long-standing attention to UX and engineering craftsmanship. He pairs strategic cross-org leadership with day-to-day coding, mentoring, and a habit of turning messy codebases into scalable platforms.
