Luca Highton
linkedin.com/in/luca-highton hightonluca@gmail.comSoftware Engineer with 8+ years of experience. Delivered end-to-end projects and improved existing systems with new features and performance gains in fast-paced, continuous delivery environments.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Experience working with multiple projects for our client, OLX:
Orbit
A two-part system: a sync service that periodically pushes organization structure to multiple platforms; and a web project consisting of a Go API backend and a React frontend for managing users, groups, badges, Slack channels, and team membership, with audit logging and org tree visualization.
Gleanfuse/PDMT
Aggregates KPIs from sources including Dalek (OLX's internal SLA tracker), Jira, PagerDuty, Incident.io, and NewRelic — normalizes them by team and time period, then publishes results to Google Sheets, Confluence, NewRelic, OpsLevel, and Slack.
Falcon
Go-based incident response bot deployed on EKS, integrating PagerDuty, Jira, Confluence, and StatusPage. Built with Go/Gin, Kubernetes CronJobs for scheduled reporting, and AWS (SES, SQS, S3) for notifications and storage.
Service Shaper
A self-service platform for OLX developers to create and manage cloud microservices. Bootstrap new projects from templates or adopt existing repos — automatically provisioning cloud resources, repositories, and integrations — then track and manage services post-creation.
Started onsite, transitioned remote during COVID. Maintained and expanded two mobile projects:
TusNotas
Mobile app connecting students, parents, and school personnel to share test grades, important dates, and school announcements.
TuLegajo
Mobile app connecting employers and employees. Automates paycheck generation and delivers company-wide announcements to staff.
