Moises Romero
@moisesromero
Staff software engineer specializing in full-stack distributed systems and high-concurrency, correctness-critical platforms.
What I'm looking for
I’m a full-stack and distributed systems engineer with 15+ years building cloud-native applications that serve millions of requests per day. I work across the modern web stack (TypeScript, Node.js, React, Next.js, Angular, Vue) and the backends behind it (GraphQL, REST, WebSockets, event-driven microservices).
I focus on high-concurrency systems where correctness really matters—whether it’s real-time billing pipelines or global e-commerce platforms. I help teams settle on scalable patterns and solid engineering standards, and I’m comfortable bridging engineering and UX so what we ship holds up technically and visually.
Most recently, at Apollo GraphQL, I designed and led Apollo Studio features with product owners and designers, from concept to launch. I also enhanced and monitored a high-volume telemetry data ingestion pipeline, built reporting tools for enterprise customers, and supported production reliability. Earlier roles included building billing microservices at HBO Max with heavily tested algorithms and leading a migration of a monolithic REST API estate to GraphQL at Walmart.
