Angel Canela

Full Stack Software Engineer with 5+ years building high-scale digital products used by millions of customers, specializing in React, Next.js, TypeScript, and serverless AWS architectures.

Currently leading engineering initiatives at The LEGO Group — owning complex features from architecture through production, mentoring engineers, raising engineering standards, and driving technical decisions across squads.

I combine strong technical execution with engineering leadership, with a bias toward clean architecture, event-driven systems, and software built to last. An advocate for modern engineering practices — AI-assisted development, agentic workflows, automated testing, and CI/CD — I actively leverage LLMs to accelerate delivery and elevate quality, while keeping human judgement central to technical decision-making.

I'm a big fan of videogames and enjoy coding them in my spare time. I've built four basic classic-inspired games that were a fun way to flex my coding, game design, and problem-solving skills — you can try them out in the portfolio section below.
