At Rápido Tickets, I built the production infrastructure from scratch for an event ticketing platform handling payments. I led the effort to achieve PCI DSS V4.0 SAQ D certification for secure credit card processing, implementing required security controls and operational procedures.

Implemented comprehensive CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and alerting infrastructure for production observability. I manage databases, debug production issues, and maintain system reliability across multiple services and integrations.

At Moni, I led the end-to-end delivery of the Moni Card, a Visa credit card program, including the integrations required for card operations and KYC verification. The team was recognized by a key partner as the fastest in our program tier to reach production at the time.

I also integrated debit card payment processing and ACH push capabilities, expanding Moni's payments infrastructure and backend financial operations.

Additionally, I built Terraform-based infrastructure for a production-ready financial operations deployment on GCP, enabling secure private connectivity between services.

At Stateless Solutions, I led a team of 3 backend engineers & our Gateway and Service API platform, enabling seamless integration of verified RPC data from network nodes for developers.

I developed a pseudo-stateless client leveraging cryptographic attestations and Merkle proofs for Ethereum state validation without local storage. I built custom ethers.js and viem integrations, including a verifiable RPC transport, and led development of the Stateless CLI.

Enhanced system observability using OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana, while managing GCP infrastructure for our backend services.

At Pocket Network, I maintained Portal API V1 and led the creation of Portal API V2, a full Go rewrite delivered from specification to production.

Portal API V2 handled peak loads of 2 billion requests per day while reducing overall architecture costs by ~43%, cutting compute usage by ~90% versus V1, and improving latency by 2.5x under the same benchmark conditions.

I also strengthened the platform through distributed regional architecture, improved observability, logging reductions of 80%, and caching improvements that reduced Redis memory usage by 90%.

Additionally, I became a key internal expert on Pocket Protocol and Ethereum, advocated for fairer and more transparent reward distribution, and led exchange integrations that expanded $POKT to 5+ exchanges including KuCoin, Gate, and Okcoin.
