Alberto Vegara

I'm a software engineer from Spain 🇪🇸, working remotely for a Swiss 🇨🇭 startup.

I've been building software for 3 years, where I have shipped features to production, built CI/CD pipelines, explored AI tools, and improved the local development experience for the engineering team.

When I'm not coding, you'll usually find me running, lifting at the gym, reading The Stormlight Archive, or playing video games.

Work

  • 2023 – nowSoftware Engineer · Hypt
    • Led the design and migration of the whole backend into one monorepo in two weeks, where 11 services and 5 shared packages moved from separate repositories into a single repository serving production.
    • Built a developer toolkit, inspired by GitHub and PostHog “Scripts to rule them all”, that sets up, runs and tests the whole monorepo with one command each. Designed to improve the developer experience for both the engineering team and AI coding agents.
    • Cut the slowest service's CI test run from 24 to 5 minutes, saving ~1,900 CI minutes a month.
    • Designed and implemented a CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions, Pytest, Dependabot, ruff, uv and ty, that increased release frequency from monthly to weekly.
    • Built an AI assistant that talks to banks' and insurers' customers after a service interaction. It asks smart follow-up questions to find out why they're happy or unhappy, instead of a fixed survey. Built with Pydantic AI, Azure OpenAI and used Langfuse for prompt management, tracing and evals.
    • Led the backend of a no-code chatbot builder using Python and FastAPI, which let customers design multi-step feedback conversations without writing code. The answers fed analytics dashboards, and the product helped win customers in insurance, banking and consumer brands such as Rivella.
    • Managed Azure infrastructure and implemented infrastructure-as-code for automated deployments, reducing reliance on the Azure portal and manual effort for the development team.
    • Built and shipped internal admin tools in React and Next.js empowering customer success team to handle customer onboarding setup, reducing engineering team involvement in manual operations.
  • 2022Software Engineer Intern · Altia S.A.
    • Developed and maintained a microservice for the company's private portal using Java Spring Boot and PostgreSQL.
    • Collaborated with the engineering team to improve system architecture, refactor code, and address bad practices to enhance maintainability and performance.
