Moya Pérez
Head of Architecture · PhD in Computer Science
I design cloud architectures that support millions of daily operations and lead high-performance engineering teams. I also research Distributed Ledger Technologies applied to IoT.
Who I am
My career has evolved from hands-on mobile engineering to strategic architecture leadership across startups, scale-ups and global enterprise. After starting in Android and iOS development, I moved into architecture and leadership roles at Wave Location Technologies, GeoDB and Inditex, leading multidisciplinary teams and turning business requirements into scalable cloud solutions using serverless, microservices and event-driven patterns on AWS, GCP and Azure.
Today, as Head of Architecture at Inditex (Operational Experience), I lead architecture for warehouse, logistics and supply chain platforms, with focus on resilience, scalability, operational excellence and alignment with business goals. In parallel, I completed my PhD at the University of Jaén with research on DLT and IoT infrastructures, and work in recommender systems, fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms.
