Juan Obando is the Tech Lead at AGILEANA, where he brings deep technical expertise, sharp problem-solving skills, and a passion for innovation to some of the company’s most complex projects. With a clear focus on architecture, scalability, and performance, Juan leads development efforts that deliver long-lasting impact—especially in mission-driven environments like higher education and government.
Juan’s journey into the world of technology was fueled by a deep passion for innovation and problem-solving. From an early age, he was drawn to the potential of software to reshape industries and improve the way people interact with systems. That fascination quickly turned into a career, as Juan honed his technical skills and took on increasingly strategic roles within software development teams.
At AGILEANA, Juan plays a key role in defining technical vision and guiding project execution. As the Tech Lead on the CIED project for Georgetown University, he has driven major architectural transformations. Two milestones stand out: first, the successful integration between the Drupal 7–based Application System and the Symfony 3–based Proposal System—making the experience seamless for users across both platforms. And second, leading the full migration from Drupal 7 to Symfony 3, unifying functionality under a single, modern technology stack.
Juan is also known for introducing new technologies and development trends to his team, helping AGILEANA stay ahead of the curve. Whether optimizing codebases, recommending better frameworks, or refining workflows, he brings a future-focused mindset that elevates the technical quality and efficiency of every project.
Beyond technical leadership, Juan is guided by a strong personal ethos:
- Discipline: Staying committed to excellence through structure, consistency, and focus.
- Attention to detail: Ensuring that every line of code and architectural decision meets the highest standards.
- Responsibility: Taking ownership of outcomes and always striving to deliver the best possible solution for both clients and end users.
Juan’s work is more than code—it’s about building systems that are thoughtful, resilient, and built to serve people. At AGILEANA, he is not only a trusted leader but also a vital force in shaping software that stands the test of time.
