I build scalable fintech, AI-agent, and cloud platforms across full-stack production systems.

Ireland
Message

I've built production platforms at Billabex, GitLab, and Holvi, spanning fintech, distributed systems, AI agents, and cloud infrastructure. At Billabex, I designed a unified TypeScript platform across Next.js, NestJS, Fastify, GraphQL, DynamoDB, and AWS, and led a redesign around a shared financial domain model.

At GitLab, I improved GitLab.com database and repository performance, including reducing vacuum saturation from about 80% to 15% after database decomposition and contributing to more than 90× loose-object benchmark gains. Earlier at Holvi, I delivered regulated banking capabilities including PSD2 authentication, accounting APIs, card-platform integrations, and KYC onboarding.

Directed GitLab.com database decomposition by separating Main and CI workloads after CI reached 48.98% of writes, helping reduce PostgreSQL contention and create clearer production boundaries. Improved database headroom as post-split vacuum saturation fell from about 80% average to 15%, while Sidekiq PgBouncer query duration improved by at least 5x after safer connections scaling.

Accelerated Gitaly fetch paths and pack-object caching, reducing benchmark runtime from 27s to 7.5s and average server CPU from 100% to 40% under 20 simultaneous shallow clone workloads. Redesigned Git data transport between Workhorse and Gitaly with Unix sockets and Yamux streams, helping remove legacy pre-clone infrastructure while preserving authentication and metrics.
