Co-Founder & DevOps Engineer | Rápido Tickets

January 2025 - Present

At Rápido Tickets, I built the production infrastructure from scratch for an event ticketing platform handling payments, merchandise sales, and vendor connections. 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.

Principal Software Engineer, Backend | Stateless Solutions

July 2023 - December 2024

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.

Software Engineer, Backend | Pocket Network Inc.

August 2021 - July 2023

At Pocket Network, I led the creation of Portal API V2, a complete Go rewrite of V1, from specifications to implementation. This new system, currently in production, has handled peak loads of 2 billion requests per day while reducing overall costs by 43%.

It demonstrates exceptional efficiency in both RAM and CPU usage, with a 90% compute reduction compared to V1 and 2.5 times faster latency. I implemented robust metrics for enhanced system observability and reduced logging by 80%, significantly decreasing storage costs.

As the primary knowledge source for Pocket Protocol and Ethereum, I advocated for transparency in our selection algorithm and drove improvements for fairer reward distribution. I also successfully led technical integrations to add $POKT to over five exchanges, including KuCoin, Gate, and Okcoin.
