Background
José Miguel Navarro Iglesias builds software at the intersection of product delivery, reliable architecture and scaling strategy. He has led backend and full-stack initiatives that turn ambitious ideas into fast, stable systems ready for growth, and he founded NYT87 to do that work for teams who cannot afford weak execution.
He works remotely and asynchronously, inside the client’s own workflow, with documented decisions, clear ownership and milestones tied to shipping.
Currently
- Criptan. Senior software engineer on the backend services behind Criptan, a regulated Spanish crypto investment app and the studio’s main client.
- Drift. Open-source contributor to CutWire Drift, a free desktop video editor, with more than two dozen pull requests merged upstream.
- Studio projects. Builds and maintains the studio’s own tools: Booba Pass, OpenTrack Viewer, Bongsu and Agents PP.
How he works
- Clarify first. An ambiguous idea becomes a clear scope with testable outcomes before code is written.
- Ship visibly. Work lands against measurable milestones, with execution transparent from day one.
- Leave it maintainable. Architecture and decisions are documented so the client’s team can keep evolving the system.
