Alberto Ramos

01 About

I'm Alberto, originally from Lisbon, Portugal, and currently based in Berlin.

I'm a software engineer who likes to own the whole arc of a product: gather requirements, sketch and design the layouts, architect code that will still make sense in a year, and ship it.

Good design, user experience and code are the same job to me.

Offline I like to stay active: gym, bouldering, yoga, hiking. Or out with one of my cameras somewhere in the mountains.

02 What I do

I , and things end to end. Over 5 years of design-driven development with React, TypeScript, TanStack Query and CSS Modules, building modular frontends and reusable systems that explain themselves to the next engineer.

For the past 3 years I've been shaping the UX and UI of Tesla's factory software: critical systems that process millions of events a day across every Gigafactory worldwide, and touch the production line of every product, from Model Y and Cybertruck to Cybercab and Optimus.

    Senior frontend-focused engineer on Tesla’s factory software and its user experience.

    • Carriers System. Frontend and UX for the rules engine that routes Tesla’s production carriers, from battery packs to car bodies and Optimus. Rules like “CYCLE 5 → send to cleaning station” or “RED Model Y → update downstream system” decide where each carrier goes and what happens next. Used by controls engineers, production planners, and integration engineers. As the team’s long-term frontend engineer, in a team of 4–8, moved it from old technology and a dated design to a modern React app built on Tesla’s internal component library, and made its builds 10× faster.
    • Factory software portal. Proposed and built a single entry point for 20+ factory apps, many running 10+ instances, one per factory, each with its own deployment, logs and monitoring URLs. It also tracks factory downtime against agreed SLAs, so monthly incident tickets no longer have to be reviewed by hand. Built in React and Go.
    • Factory Execution System. Part of a dedicated UI team re-implementing Tesla’s oldest core factory system with a modern, intuitive interface, migrating it from legacy Angular code to React with Vite.
