Miguel Angel Alvarez
Software Engineer
About
I'm a software engineer with a product mindset — I care about solving the right problem, not just closing tickets. I write clean, maintainable code, sweat the details, and adapt to whatever the project needs, whether that's a new stack, a new paradigm, or a hard conversation about scope.
I thrive as an individual contributor. Owning a problem end-to-end — from first principles to shipped feature — is where I do my best work. In a world where AI makes individual developers disproportionately capable, I find that genuinely exciting. Outside of code, I stay curious through travel, motorsports, music, and the occasional video game.
Experience
Senior Frontend Developer
Genially
Spent six years evolving an interactive content platform. Rotating through multiple squads gave me a deep, end-to-end understanding of the product. I collaborate closely with design and backend teams to ship scalable features, often pair-programming. Beyond coding, I drive architectural decisions and maintain our Design System, using data to continuously refine the user experience.
Full Stack Developer
Corus Consulting
Delivered agile solutions for diverse clients. While starting as a full-stack developer, I naturally gravitated toward the frontend, taking ownership of UI and usability. I worked directly with clients to refine requirements, ensuring high-quality delivery across multiple parallel projects.
Full Stack Developer
Glownet
Built cashless payment ecosystems for major music festivals, covering NFC transactions and real-time dashboards. I combined development with on-site support during live events, ensuring system stability under pressure and working side-by-side with organizers to resolve critical issues in real-time.
Full Stack Developer
Just Landed
Contributed to a global platform operating in 70 countries. This role established my full-stack foundations, particularly in MVC architecture and system reliability. I focused on maintaining high-traffic modules and delivering consistent, user-focused features for a massive international audience.
