Senior🎓
Top SchoolGeorge Coca is a seasoned Software Architect based in Madrid with over a decade of hands-on experience building SaaS and web platforms using Laravel, NodeJS, Vue/Preact, and cloud-native stacks. He blends technical leadership and hands-on engineering—leading teams and founding freelance projects while currently architecting products at habitacion.com and guiding a Dutch SaaS as Technical Lead. His open-source contributions to well-known PHP libraries like PHPoAuthLib and Laravel Socialite show a focus on OAuth integrations, test automation, and code quality improvements beyond surface fixes. Comfortable across backend, frontend, and infrastructure, he routinely applies CI, Docker, serverless patterns, and AWS for production-ready systems. Known as a pragmatic problem solver, he often translates complex concepts (webhooks, OAuth flows, deployment patterns) into actionable plans for non-technical stakeholders. His background in both agency and startup environments gives him a rare mix of product empathy and execution discipline.
