Software Architect & Distributed Systems Engineer with 10+ years of engineering experience architecting personalization systems serving millions of users, zero-defect platform rewrites, sub-10ms rule engines, and in-house API observability platforms — accelerated by modern AI-native workflows (Claude Code).
Decade-proven expertise across distributed systems, AI-native engineering, observability platforms, and high-performance web.
High-impact technical consultation for engineering teams and founders: system design reviews, architecture blueprints, codebase audits, and hands-on architecture coaching on distributed systems.
Personalization pipelines (Kafka + Elasticsearch + Golang), publishing engine rewrites with nested reference graph resolution, sub-10ms rule engines, and BDUI systems at production scale.
Engineering production systems with Claude Code CLI, agentic LLM workflows, and modern AI APIs — delivering complex architectures with 10x velocity and clean maintainability.
Custom-built API traffic inspector and synthetic testing engine: live payload capture, high-concurrency replay, contract verification, and zero-regression quality gates — no external SaaS required.
Multi-CDN cache purging (<50ms global invalidation), cloud-agnostic message brokers, and cross-environment synchronization seamlessly spanning AWS, GCP, and Azure.
Bespoke web applications and client platforms built with React, Next.js, and Cloudflare Edge: sub-second global performance, zero maintenance overhead, and instant client conversion workflows.
High-impact architecture consultations, system design guidance, and senior software engineering leadership for mission-critical distributed systems. I partner with founders and engineering teams on deep architectural challenges, codebase audits, and hands-on team mentorship.

Hands-on technical leadership and engineering ownership for high-throughput distributed engines, API platforms, and modern web applications.
Structured coaching for engineering teams on distributed patterns, Kafka streaming, microservices, concurrency, and zero-defect delivery.
System design review, technology roadmap audit, bottleneck analysis, or architecture blueprint for your core product.
Senior software architecture and engineering ownership for high-scale backend engines, streaming pipelines, or core platform builds.
Structured coaching sessions for engineering teams on distributed systems, microservices design, and high-concurrency patterns.
Ongoing light-touch technical advisory and roadmap guidance for select early-stage engineering teams.
Mission-critical distributed systems owned and delivered across production environments at scale.
Owned the architectural evolution of a large-scale CMS personalization system delivering real-time, tailored content experiences to a global user base. Upgrades had to be zero-downtime with zero customer-reported escalations.
Designed streaming personalization pipeline using Apache Kafka for event ingestion, Elasticsearch for real-time content scoring and ranking, and Golang microservices for sub-millisecond serving. Orchestrated zero-defect platform upgrades with improved throughput and zero rollbacks.
Led the complete architectural rewrite of the core publishing engine — responsible for resolving deeply nested content reference graphs, hierarchical taxonomy trees, and orchestrating atomic multi-environment publishing at scale.
Built a recursive reference graph resolver for deep CMS entry traversal, with taxonomy inheritance, version-aware atomic publishing, and parallel multi-environment sync. Eliminated cascading failure modes and legacy technical debt from the previous system.
Engineering teams needed live API traffic capture, synthetic replay, and contract verification across a complex microservice ecosystem — without paying for expensive external monitoring SaaS platforms. Regressions were caught too late in the release pipeline.
Architected and built an in-house distributed API traffic inspector: live request/response capture, automated assertion suites, synthetic replay under high-concurrency, and API contract verification. Adopted successfully across engineering teams, eliminating all external SaaS dependencies entirely.
Complex business logic was evaluated in application layer code with high latency and brittle rollback mechanics. Any failed transaction required manual intervention. Frontend was tightly coupled to backend data contracts, slowing delivery cycles.
Built a sub-10ms rule evaluation microservice for complex conditional logic at peak load. Paired it with an event-driven saga rollback system for automatic, idempotent transaction compensation. Added a Backend-Driven UI (BDUI) layer enabling server-controlled UI composition — fully decoupling frontend release cycles from backend schema changes.
Content delivery required simultaneous cache invalidation across multiple CDN providers globally, each with different APIs and failure modes. Infrastructure was vendor-locked into specific cloud messaging primitives, blocking multi-cloud strategy.
Built a unified multi-CDN purging service with parallel provider invalidation, retry backoff, and observability hooks achieving <50ms global cache invalidation. Architected a cloud-agnostic message broker abstraction enabling seamless multi-cloud event streaming across AWS SQS, GCP Pub/Sub, and Azure Service Bus without vendor dependency.
