About
Hi, I’m Rodrigo Lopez, a Senior Java Developer and Solutions Architect with 18+ years of contract experience delivering production systems for Scotiabank, RBC, Disney/HULU, and more. I specialize in Java 17/21, Spring Boot, microservices, REST/GraphQL APIs, JPA/Hibernate, Kafka, and cloud-native deployments on AWS EKS, GKE, and Azure.
I also work across NodeJS, React/Angular TypeScript front-ends, data engineering, and AI engineering, and I’m known for writing highly performant code and making sound architectural decisions. I enjoy leading teams, mentoring engineers, and designing scalable backend infrastructures from scratch.
