Description

Senior Backend & Systems Engineer with 10+ years of experience helping startups turn ideas into scalable, production-ready platforms.

I work closely with founders and product teams to ship MVPs fast, validate assumptions, and design architectures that won’t collapse when traction arrives. My focus is simple: reduce technical risk early, keep delivery speed high, and build systems that can evolve without constant rewrites.

I can help you with:

Designing and implementing MVP backends
Evolving monoliths into scalable architectures
Event-driven and microservices systems
Performance optimization and reliability improvements
Cloud infrastructure & CI/CD setup
Stabilizing systems under growth pressure

I’m comfortable operating in high-uncertainty environments where priorities shift and speed matters — without sacrificing long-term maintainability. Whether you’re pre-seed, post-raise, or preparing for scale, I bring a pragmatic, product-first mindset focused on measurable outcomes.

Backend Technical Lead
January 2020 - January 2022 (2 years)
Spain
Co-defined backend product roadmap with CTO, balancing delivery speed, operational cost, and long-term maintainability. Introduced platform and CI/CD improvements that shortened feedback loops and reduced release friction for backend teams. Took ownership of backend operational concerns, balancing delivery speed, reliability, and long-term maintainability as the platform evolved. Set architectural standards and technical guardrails to control system complexity as the product scaled.
