I build high-scale distributed systems, cloud architectures, and AI-powered products.
What I'm looking for
I'm the founder and Solutions Architect at Arcolabs, delivering remote engineering and consulting across Node.js, Python, AWS, GCP, Runpod, AI solutions, and automation.
Previously at Terrific, I owned full-stack architecture and delivered real-time video streaming, adaptive load balancing, media transcoding, e-commerce integrations, and Google Cloud serverless infrastructure supporting up to 10,000 simultaneous connections.
I've also built security-platform services at Rapid7, scalable data flows at Syte, and real-time computer-vision systems at AnyVision. Across 13+ years, I've led teams, designed microservices and event-driven systems, built CI/CD foundations, and shipped full-stack products from architecture through production.
