2 years 8 months
  • 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.

  • 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.

Tech Lead / Digital Solutions Manager

  • Led and mentored a small engineering team across concurrent client engagements, owning feature delivery and growth conversations.
  • Translated business requirements into technical roadmaps and delivery plans across multiple client projects.
  • Provided architectural guidance across client solutions, ensuring consistency, security, and maintainability.
  • Migrated client workloads from dedicated servers to serverless platforms (Cloud Functions, Cloud Run), reducing infrastructure cost and operational overhead.
  • Automated Node.js CI/CD pipelines on Cloud Build, removing manual release steps and improving deployment reliability.
  • Established shared GitHub conventions and code standards adopted across teams to improve consistency and collaboration.
  • Built and managed partnerships with external development providers, expanding delivery capacity while keeping quality commitments.

Full-stack Engineer / Consultant

Sintec
