Miguel Fernández

Maker

I am focused on developing my own products and converting them into businesses. This allows me to experiment with new ideas and push the boundaries of my own creativity and knowledge.

This is important to me because I have an ambition for freedom and control —to shape my own path and create opportunities for growth on my own terms. At the same time, I am deeply passionate about understanding users' problems and crafting solutions that are both effective and simple, ensuring that the value I deliver is not only innovative but also genuinely meaningful to those I serve.

Consultant

As part of The Signal Team, I collaborate with teams and individuals to unlock the potential of AI in their projects. This involves demystifying complex technologies, integrating AI into existing systems, and building reliable backends and systems from inception all the way up to production.

Engineer

During the past two decades, I was part of the core engineering teams of the following startups and scale-ups:

• Prisma, engineering features of the query engine and the integration of Rust and JS runtimes.
• Hasura, scaling the backends of the cloud offering.
• Fastly, implementing and scaling real-time and historical analytics.
• GitHub, on all things backend and data-infrastructure.
• And a few others

Projects

I am creating a portfolio of bets of different sizes.

• The Signal - a zero-bullshit studio of software development.
• MoveFrequently - a tiny experiment to combat sedentarism at the workplace.
• Bamboleo Ventures - my solo investing firm incubating and financing AI-based products.
