Ismael Sosa Domínguez

Senior Software Engineer Process Automation

I design and optimize systems that reduce manual work, improve reliability, and accelerate business outcomes in critical environments.

» I automate what drains time, stabilize what breaks, and scale what grows.

Experience at Siemens Logistics & Logitravel Group
Areas of specialization

Sectors where I build systems that scale.

Three domains where I have solved real problems: where software meets the physical world, where scale demands discipline, and where uptime is non-negotiable.

01
Industry & Logistics

Industry and Logistics

Connecting software with hardware/PLCs, automating traceability and optimizing workflows in critical environments where a single failure costs hours of production.

02
Tourism

Tourism

Building platforms that handle thousands of bookings simultaneously and keep your team unblocked during peak season.

03
E-commerce

E-commerce

Systems built to handle your busiest days — Black Friday, flash sales, seasonal peaks — without an outage or slowdown.

Portfolio

Selected projects.

Projects selected for the impact they delivered. Every case here solved a real operational pain point with a measurable outcome.

E-commerce 2025

E-commerce Product Catalog Indexing Optimization

Impact

Constant memory footprint: catalogs of hundreds of thousands of products can be indexed without saturating the server.

Complete redesign of the product catalog indexing process. The legacy system had inefficient processing. A new architecture based on object factories, batch processing, and data streaming was implemented, eliminating bottlenecks in bulk catalog updates.

Hotel Price Accuracy Validator

Impact

Automatic detection of discrepancies between contracted and served prices before they reach the client.

Validates hotel prices served to clients against contracted rates. Compares expected price files with the internal availability API and generates Excel and CSV accuracy reports for auditing. Processing runs as scheduled background jobs to handle large volumes without blocking the system.

Baggage Traceability - IATA Audit

Impact

Manual tracing process eliminated: traces generated in seconds versus hours of analysis.

Automates baggage traceability under the IATA audit framework. Reads the bagtag IDs requested by airlines, queries the BHS system database and reconstructs the full journey of each bag to determine whether the failure is attributable to the handling system or the airline.

Feedback Flow - Student Feedback Distribution

Impact

Manual feedback process eliminated: distribution time cut from hours to minutes per session.

Desktop tool for English teachers who deliver personalised feedback to each student after every session. Migrated from Windows Forms to Avalonia to remove platform lock-in: generates per-student session PDFs and creates ready-to-send email drafts with no additional software required on the teacher's machine.
