Professional Summary

  • 5+ years building, rescuing, and scaling platforms — from community initiatives to high-availability video streaming infrastructure serving thousands of daily active users.
  • Self-taught technical leader who thrives in ambiguity. When the entire dev team departed, I maintained production infrastructure solo for 18 months, learning MongoDB, Linux server administration, SSL, CDN configuration, Nginx, and Cloudflare on the job.
  • Reduced platform infrastructure costs by 66-72% ($1,800 → $500/month) while scaling video encoding from 1 node to 10+ distributed encoders processing 400+ videos weekly.
  • Co-founded Mantequilla-Soft, an open-source software company, growing it from zero to 55+ repositories and a 7-person distributed engineering team across multiple time zones.
  • Bridges engineering execution and stakeholder communication — comfortable owning architecture decisions, release coordination, incident response, and team leadership simultaneously.
