Walter Díaz is a pragmatic software engineer from Managua with a decade of hands-on experience building backend services and full-stack applications across startups, government, and healthcare. He combines .NET and Node.js expertise with front-end Angular work, shipping APIs and SPAs while improving performance and developer tooling. At Moonshot Partners, Opus EHR and now Alicunde he has moved between roles delivering production systems and integrations, and his open-source work on a COVID/influenza API shows attention to data quality—adding country codes, flag utilities and performance improvements. A self-described command-line junkie who enjoys building things from scratch, he blends practical engineering with a knack for tidy, data-informed utilities that make services more reliable.
