Victor Garcia
@victorgarcia2
I build backend, infrastructure, and AI platforms that ship at production scale.
What I'm looking for
I'm building and operating AI-first products through Totem Labs Forge, including ERA, a Cosmobiology AI app live on Google Play, and Forgetty, a GTK4 terminal emulator built in Rust. I use a multi-agent Forge harness to move from specification through build and QA with parallel worktrees and autonomous execution.
At Range Security, I own an end-to-end infrastructure surface for a multi-network blockchain security platform. I've built and operated bare-metal Kubernetes, production Kafka, PostgreSQL HA with weekly DR restore testing, Redis, multi-cluster Elasticsearch, GitOps delivery, short-lived credential management, and federated observability.
Previously at Exodus, I upgraded the exchange service powering the Exodus wallet, reducing rate-building time by 10x and leading a TypeScript migration for exchange-order tracking. At Wizeline, I helped deliver 50+ blockchain asset integrations, built microservice gateways and real-time APIs, coached junior engineers, and led a Blockchain 101 academy for 80+ attendees.
I started by shipping Android, web, AR, security, and big-data products, and I remain most energized by systems that combine product delivery with reliable operations. I build the architecture, automation, documentation, and operating discipline needed to ship real systems.
