Bare Metal philosophy
I'm not a fan of over-engineering. I believe in keeping things simple, fast, and cost-effective. My goal is to build architectures that get out of the way and let the hardware—and the team—do their best work.
Software & Digital Solutions Manager · Principal Systems Architect
Fractional CTO & Principal Architect
I help companies scale their systems, cut down cloud costs, and build engineering teams that actually deliver.
I'm a software architect and engineering leader with over 13 years of experience. I specialize in taking fragile, complex systems and turning them into stable, scalable products. Whether it's cloud infrastructure, IoT, or AI integrations, I love getting my hands dirty with the code while guiding teams to build things that actually work.
About
Depth beyond the résumé
Academic lens
Cognitive science is my research focus and a field I keep studying and reading about—it gives me a distinct angle on software. I don't just see AI as a tool; I see it as a way to design systems that align with how humans actually think and work.
Security-first architecture
Security isn't an afterthought for me—it's the foundation. I build systems that don't just scale when things go right, but hold strong when things go wrong.
Applied AI — proven delivery
I've built autonomous support systems using Meta WhatsApp, Chatwoot, and Dialogflow CX. By integrating RAG architectures, we managed to cut resolution times by 80% for complex technical requests.
Writing & research
I regularly write on Medium about things like RAG chunking, nature-inspired networks, and the reality of AGI. I'm also deeply interested in using deep learning for neural signal processing and early diagnosis in neurodevelopmental conditions.
Discipline as a system
I bring the same discipline from my CrossFit and boxing routines into my code. High performance requires focus, consistency, and a strong foundation—whether in the gym or in system architecture.
Strategic partnership
If you're a founder or executive, you should be focusing on your business, not worrying about technical bottlenecks. I step in to clear the fog, map out a solid technical strategy, and make sure your product scales smoothly.

Case studies
Architectural wins from 13 years in the field — bare-metal, hexagonal, and AI-driven.
Bare Metal: 4x throughput on a single-core Celeron
.NET · Multi-threading · Async · Hardware
- Action
- Inherited a centrifuge/spectrometer control system that crashed on i7 + 8GB RAM. Stripped out the bloat, made the mechanical and optical pipelines fully async, and pulled analysis to the core.
- Outcome
- 4x throughput while dropping the hardware requirement to a single-core Celeron with 1GB RAM. Real Bare Metal performance.
Hexagonal: 60+ service cloud → 3 Windows services
Hexagonal · Ports & Adapters · Monolith · On-premises
- Action
- Closed/military sites couldn't touch the internet. Because the system was built around Hexagonal Architecture and clean interfaces, I bypassed the API Gateway and merged just the Application Layer into a monolith.
- Outcome
- Kubernetes and RabbitMQ swapped for SQLite, MQTT, and in-memory. The full 60+ service cloud platform now runs as 3 lightweight Windows services—without changing a single line of business logic.
Agentic AI: LangChain & LangGraph Orchestration
LangChain · LangGraph · RAG · Dialogflow CX
- Action
- Built a true 'Agentic' architecture using LangChain and LangGraph for chain-of-thought reasoning, looping, and branching, backed by Python vector DBs. Later deployed to GCP with Dialogflow CX and Chatwoot.
- Outcome
- An autonomous network that reads technical docs and resolves user issues step-by-step like an expert—handling a 100,000-user load with just 3 engineers.
Meta-programming: Autonomous Dynamic Reporting
.NET · Blazor · React · DevExpress · NoSQL
- Action
- Enterprise reporting required constant developer intervention. I built a runtime SQL generation engine using .NET, Blazor, React, DevExpress, and NoSQL.
- Outcome
- Users can now dynamically filter and schedule complex reports autonomously. Eliminated developer bottleneck entirely.
Multi-platform IoT cloud (10,000+ devices, 100,000+ users)
Kubernetes · GCP · MQTT · React · Flutter
- Action
- Killed the dependency on an unreliable outsourced infrastructure and built a 60-70 microservice ecosystem from scratch—Docker, Kubernetes, RabbitMQ, MQTT, .NET backend, React micro-frontends, Flutter mobile.
- Outcome
- One platform now manages 8 different device types (fire panels, intruder alarms, cameras, suppression) at full scale.
Production sandbox without disrupting 10,000 devices
Production debugging · A/B routing · Zero downtime
- Action
- Designed an A/B-test-style routing layer that lets engineers redirect a single faulty device or user into a sandbox/debug environment—live, on production traffic.
- Outcome
- Faster root-cause analysis with zero downtime for the other 10,000+ devices in production.

Leading the entire IoT and backend infrastructure for fire safety operations—focused on scalability, reliability, and opening up new markets.
Architected an 'Agentic' support system using LangChain and LangGraph for complex chain-of-thought reasoning, looping, and branching, powered by Python vector databases (RAG).
Later integrated this autonomous architecture into GCP with Dialogflow CX, Chatwoot, and Meta WhatsApp, achieving roughly 80% faster ticket resolution.
Future projection: migrating ERP data to BigQuery for AI agent swarms, and conducting R&D on Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) using EEG signals and LLMs for neurodivergent individuals.
