About Antonio Pascual

With over 30 years in software development, I have built and led teams to design, develop, and scale high-performing applications. As the Head of Software Architecture in SimpleKYC, I specialize in crafting reliable and scalable solutions in the Azure Cloud, leveraging cutting-edge technologies to drive efficiency and resilience. My core expertise lies in designing and building resilient, cloud-native systems with a strong emphasis on distributed architectures, workflow orchestration, and scalability. I specialize in implementing long-running business processes using platforms like Temporal.io and BPMN-based engines such as Flowable, enabling complex and reliable workflows. I have extensive experience architecting and deploying modern systems using Azure services (including API Manager, Blob Storage, etc), AKS, Redis, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Keycloak, MongoDB, Prometheus, and Datadog. My work routinely involves designing robust APIs, handling system observability, and ensuring security and performance across cloud environments. While I have a solid foundation in languages such as Python, TypeScript, PHP, and JavaScript, my focus is on leveraging the right technology for the problem at hand — from infrastructure to orchestration layers. I thrive on solving complex challenges, optimizing performance, and ensuring system reliability at scale. Passionate about innovation, best practices, and high-quality solutions, I drive architectural excellence and strategic technology decisions that align with business goals. We are living in extraordinary times, where the latest advances in AI are transforming the way we build and scale software. These innovations open up new possibilities for automation, decision-making, and efficiency, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in modern software architecture.
