Carlos Navarro

Software Engineering Lead @ RigiTech

About

I’m a full-stack software engineer who loves moving seamlessly between frontend, backend, and infrastructure to deliver robust, scalable products. I’ve built rich client-side interfaces, designed APIs and services in Ruby, Node/TypeScript, and PHP, and set up Kubernetes clusters and CI/CD pipelines. My strengths are technological versatility and the ability to take ideas all the way to production: from defining architecture and databases to automating infrastructure as code and monitoring in cloud or bare-metal environments. I thrive in agile, distributed, and multicultural teams, communicating fluently in Spanish and English. I’m currently working on projects as a freelancer and am open to remote, part-time opportunities.
