Alejandro Corsino
Senior Full-Stack Engineer
Highlight
Senior Full-Stack Engineer holding a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, with a rare, balanced mastery of both frontend and backend ecosystems. I pride myself on never neglecting either side of the stack, pairing high-performance frontend development (React, TypeScript, NodeJS, NextJS) with deep enterprise backend engineering (NodeJS, NextJS, Java, .NET Core). My experience spans optimized e-commerce platforms and high-concurrency SaaS products, where I specialize in real-time data synchronization, multi-language internationalization (i18n), and complex multi-tenant architectures.
I actively leverage next-generation AI tools like Cursor and Claude Code to supercharge development velocity, expertly balancing AI-augmented efficiency with the deep, hands-on fundamentals required to architect and code complex systems by hand. I thrive on 'owning the build,' frequently setting up the deployment pipelines and cloud environments I work within. Dedicated to sustainable engineering practices, I lead teams by example and make pragmatic technical choices that align closely with business goals.
Key Highlights:
- Leadership: Tech Lead at Pet Circle.
- NextJS at Scale: Leading NextJS rewrite of events/venue/admin/Swift-POS SaaS (Attekus, 4-app monorepo); previously rebuilt 6+ brand sites at Merkle/Dentsu (Funlab, APT Cruises) with SSR/SSG, i18n, CMS integrations
- Cloud & DevOps: Hands-on with GCP, Azure (Pipelines, App Service); built and maintained CI/CD pipelines
- Certified Foundations: Prince2 Practitioner, IASA Architecture certified, Bachelor's in System Analysis
