Alejandro Velazco

Senior Backend Engineer

Senior Software Engineer based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with 6+ years designing, building and maintaining production-grade backend systems across fintech, SaaS, e-commerce and distributed platforms. Backend-focused profile across Java/Spring Boot and Node.js/TypeScript (NestJS, Express, Fastify), with strong experience in microservices, REST APIs, GraphQL, SQL/NoSQL databases, Redis, Docker, Kubernetes and CI/CD.

I own services end-to-end in international remote teams: API design and data modeling, service boundaries, deployment, observability, testing and production support. I focus on maintainability, reliability and measurable impact.

I've shipped payment gateways and fintech backends (Stripe, PayPal, multi-country carrier billing), event-driven architectures with RabbitMQ and Kafka, real-time observability with WebSocket and Socket.IO, and hexagonal services with NestJS, Spring Boot and FastAPI. Full-stack capability is a secondary advantage; backend ownership is where I add the most value.
