Hi, I'm Jorge 👋
Staff Software Engineer | Distributed Systems & Applied AI
I design and integrate resilient, large-scale platforms across distributed systems and AI-integrated architectures. My work focuses on building systems that scale predictably, remain observable under load, and evolve without breaking existing consumers.
- Zero-downtime migrations: Led incremental transitions from legacy monoliths to microfrontends and event-driven services.
- Performance optimization: Diagnosed the root cause of a throughput ceiling in distributed task queues; a surgical configuration change, validated via benchmarks, delivered 8× throughput (940 → 7,500 tasks/min).
- Applied AI: Building RAG patterns and multi-agent systems with the same engineering discipline as production services (orchestration, evaluation, observability).
- Technical leadership: Driving cross-team standards, design reviews, and mentorship across backend and frontend guilds.

ZenBusiness
Staff Software Engineer
Sep 2023 - Present
2 years 8 months
Overview
Design and implement the company’s core distributed systems across multiple microservices. Contribute to architectural decisions, adopt event-driven and microfrontend patterns, define cross-team standards, and own third-party integrations with a focus on reliability and consistency.Key Achievements
- Led the zero-downtime migration of a frontend product from the legacy monolith to the new microfrontends architecture, executed incrementally without disrupting users.
- Designed core fulfillment workflows in Go, with schema-driven validation and graph-based traversal to guarantee data integrity across the order lifecycle.
- Led an event-driven backend integrating external accountant partners, unblocking the launch of the company's tax-related product line.
- Designed and built multiple third-party integrations with partner-specific rate limiting, timeouts, structured error handling, and secrets management.
- Co-created and maintain shared core packages and architectural patterns adopted across multiple teams, driving consistency in how services are built.
- Supported enterprise API initiatives by designing secure, public-facing endpoints that exposed internal capabilities while enforcing business constraints.

Ureeka
Senior Software Engineer
Sep 2021 - Sep 2023
1 year 11 months
Overview
Designed and scaled backend systems supporting the core Ureeka platform, with a focus on distributed execution, performance optimization, and operational reliability in a cloud-native, serverless environment.Key Achievements
- Designed scalable backend features using distributed system patterns (eventual consistency, backward-compatible schema evolution) so the platform could evolve without breaking existing consumers.
- Diagnosed the root cause of a throughput ceiling in distributed task queues; a surgical configuration change, validated via benchmarks, delivered an 8× throughput improvement (~940 → ~7,500 tasks/min per queue).
- Implemented end-to-end observability with Cloud Trace, Cloud Logging, and Error Reporting, shortening incident detection through automated alerting.
