Technical Director • Systems Architect • Turning complex IT into business growth

By day, I architect and lead engineering; by night, I swap code for vocal notes. I build reliable, scalable systems and keep a learner’s mindset-always iterating, always shipping.

• Focus: systems design, high-load backends, DevOps, product acceleration
• Edge: pragmatic engineering, fast turnarounds, clean CI/CD, ruthless simplicity
• Motto: ship value, measure impact, refactor complexity away

• Architecture & Leadership: reviving stalled projects, defining roadmaps, mentoring, and aligning tech with business KPIs
• Backend at Scale: Go, PHP (Laravel), Python, Node.js; eventing, caching, observability; performance-first mindset
• DevOps: Docker, Linux, CI/CD (GitLab/GitHub), cloud migrations, cost/perf tuning, secure delivery pipelines
• Frontend & Mobile: Vue/Nuxt, React, Angular, Flutter - pragmatic UI/UX to support core flows
• Data Layer: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Cassandra - with sensible indexing, partitioning, and backups

09/2020 – 05/2024

• Led large-scale infra & engineering transformation focused on reliability and speed of delivery
• Cloud migration with containerization (secure, reproducible builds & releases)
• Mobile app rewrite to handle high traffic & peak loads
• CI/CD rollout with automated testing and gated releases
• Contributed to significant online growth through stability, UX, and conversion-centric improvements

09/2021 – 12/2023

• Brought a critical IT initiative back on track and prevented the dissolution of the dev org
• Re-architected and stabilized the codebase in weeks; eliminated key bottlenecks
• Built a production-ready infrastructure from scratch (monitoring, alerting, backups, IaC where sensible)
• Enabled the company to shift from offline to online and scale transactions confidently

03/2020 – 08/2020

• Built and launched the “Friends” subscription program end-to-end (backend + landing)
• Expanded catalog & payment flows, including regulated items integration
• Drove notable uplift in subscription-driven revenue and retention

06/2019 – 01/2020

• Shipped the in-app couponing system that boosted partner sales and engagement
• Optimized payments (latency, error-rate) and streamlined transactional flows
• Contributed to faster response times and fewer failures in critical paths

• From 0→1 infra: pragmatic CI/CD, observability, and rollout discipline that teams can actually maintain
• High-load readiness: caching, connection pools, queueing, and backpressure without over-engineering
• Time-to-impact: ability to stabilize and relaunch projects within weeks, not quarters
• Business alignment: features prioritized by conversion, cost, and reliability-not fashion trends

• B.A. in Geography (systems thinking, modeling, and a deep love for maps & data)

• Building practical SaaS and backend services with clear unit economics
• Exploring clean architecture in Go/PHP, async patterns, and cost-aware cloud design

If your problem is real and the stakes are high, I’m interested. Let’s architect something that lasts.
