Airton Zanon is a Technical Lead based in Amsterdam with 11 years of software engineering experience and a strong PHP focus since 2016. He combines hands-on backend engineering across PHP, Python and some Go with practical cloud and data experience—designing AWS model pipelines, integrating Salesforce, and building multi-currency cash management features at Mollie. Airton champions engineering culture improvements like code review practices, better commit messages, and safer retrospectives, and he frequently leads cross-functional initiatives to ship measurable product and operational changes. He contributes to open-source (notably enhancements to the PyPika SQL query builder) where he implemented custom SQL function support and dialect adaptations, reflecting a care for cross-database portability. Curious and people-oriented, he prioritizes building software that improves lives rather than just revenue, and brings a track record of taking ownership in both startup and scale-up environments.
