Alberto Morán

Hi, I'm Alberto. I'm a software engineer who likes building things and figuring out how they work.

I enjoy working across the stack. From designing and building web applications to setting up the infrastructure that runs them. I care about writing software that is simple to understand, reliable in production, and built to last. For me, good engineering isn't just about making something work; it's about understanding the problem, making sensible trade-offs, and leaving things a little better than I found them.

Most of my work sits somewhere between software development and infrastructure. I build applications with modern frontend and backend technologies, design APIs and databases, automate deployments, and spend a probably unreasonable amount of time thinking about servers, networks, monitoring, and what happens when something inevitably breaks.

A big part of how I learn comes from building things for myself. I've been running Albgott, my own private cloud, since 2023 — gradually turning a few services on a couple of machines into a small platform with isolated networks, monitoring, automation, and far too many lessons learned the hard way.

Over the years, I've worked on everything from web applications and internal tools to production infrastructure and systems where reliability actually matters. I enjoy moving between the details of implementation and the bigger picture of how a system should work as a whole.
