Hey! I'm Xabier Laiseca
I was born and raised in Bilbao, a small city located in the north of Spain. I studied Software Engineering BSc and MSc at the University of Deusto.
I moved to London on July 2012 to join the Ocado Technology team. In March 2013, I joined Gamesys where I worked as Java Developer, DevOps and finally as Technical Architect in the Core Platform. Three years later, in 2016, I became part of Schibsted's Products and Technology team where I became Senior Staff Engineer. In 2019, I decided to look for an SRE role and I joined Confluent where I'm a Staff Software Engineer in the Kubernetes Platform Team.
I'm now back to Bilbao from where I work remotely.
