I’m a Solutions Architect turning ambiguous product needs into secure, scalable distributed systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Solutions Architect with 7+ years designing and shipping production systems end-to-end, grounded in a deep Computer Science foundation. I bring an MSc in Distributed Computational Technologies and I’m currently a PhD Candidate (ABD), so I’m comfortable turning hard technical problems into practical architecture.
I’ve designed multi-tenant, distributed, high-load platforms from scratch on both AWS and Microsoft Azure, owning them through to production. In my most recent roles, I’ve led progressive delivery and safe multi-tenant releases, standardized inter-service communication, and built anti-corruption integration layers over legacy systems with idempotent transactions.
I also place security-by-design at the core—IAM/SSO, adaptive MFA, and PII/PCI/COPPA governance—while staying hands-on in the code. I’ve mentored engineers, raised delivery-quality standards, and published peer-reviewed work on distributed systems, DLT, and privacy.
