Alejandro Morales

As a tech lead managing up to 12 engineers, I successfully led multiple initiatives to completion. I spearheaded development of new product features, created best practices for code deployments, and migrated legacy systems to modern stacks. With proven architecture and oversight skills, I have guided the end-to-end delivery of over 10 launches. Leveraging sharp team leadership abilities, I motivated squads, conducted rigorous code reviews, optimized software quality processes, and drove adoption of technologies to boost team productivity. My balanced technical and interpersonal skillset has been key to aligned, high-velocity engineering teams that meet business goals.

With clients around the world, I developed custom lead generation system handling over 5 million clicks daily, optimizing performance to meet demanding traffic needs. Built payment platforms processing $500K+ in annual transactions, integrating with providers like Shopify and PayPal to enable secure online payments. Migrated legacy datastores to modern cloud-based solutions like PostgreSQL and Redis, improving system reliability and scalability. On multiple projects, reduced page load times by 50%+ through caching and optimization techniques.

Led team of 8 that maintained 98% customer satisfaction over 5 years by rapidly diagnosing issues and providing consultative support. Led development of over 20 custom integrations between medical devices and healthcare information systems, enhancing workflow and data sharing for improved patient care. Conducted over 100 training sessions for clients on utilizing medical devices, troubleshooting errors, and optimizing workflows.
