Moya Pérez
Head of Architecture for cloud-native logistics platforms
I design distributed, event-driven and multi-cloud systems for warehouse and logistics operations, combining hands-on architecture, technical standards and engineering leadership.
Who I am
I am a software architecture leader with a hands-on engineering background, focused on designing cloud-native distributed systems for high-scale operational environments. At Inditex, I lead architecture for Operational Experience, covering end-to-end logistics and warehouse operations across global warehouse environments.
My work spans synchronous and asynchronous flows, hardware integrations, multi-tenant SaaS architecture, multi-cloud deployment across AWS, Azure and OpenShift, and critical systems running across multiple regions and availability zones. My PhD research in DLT and IoT connects academic work in distributed systems with real-world software architecture.
