Alvaro Duran
Software engineer at Kiwi.com scaling enterprise Python systems.
Alvaro Duran builds and scales backend systems at Kiwi.com. Moving from global banks to smaller tech vendors, he focuses on writing code that survives long-term enterprise use. He cares most about reliability, evolvability, and thorough testing.
A core part of his work dissects how programming languages shape large organizations. He explores why Python became the default choice for handling enterprise complexity, often discussing how it displaced Java and fended off alternatives like Go.
Before shifting to software engineering, Alvaro studied physics.
