Senior Software Architect modernizing legacy systems and leading greenfield platforms from concept to delivery.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Architect with a track record of architecting scalable systems, modernizing legacy platforms, and leading complex greenfield initiatives from concept to delivery. I’m recognized for technical leadership, elevating engineering standards, mentoring teams, and building clarity across cross-functional stakeholders.
At ConGenius (2022–Present), I architected a local-first platform architecture enabling resilient offline-capable user experiences. I also designed and implemented a distributed monorepo supporting modular services, plus a Go-based API layer with queue-driven background job processing to improve reliability and fault tolerance.
I built a shared UI component library using React and Storybook to improve design consistency and enable isolated UI testing. Within a 6-engineer team, I provided architectural leadership—mentoring developers, raising engineering standards, and strengthening code quality through tooling like GitHub Actions and Docker.
Previously, at Classy Llama (2015–2022), I provided architectural leadership across multiple large-scale client platforms, guiding system design and technical direction for e-commerce and wholesale ordering systems. I designed integration architectures connecting modern web platforms with legacy inventory and product management systems, and architected scalable middleware services to protect performance-constrained legacy systems from high request volumes.
