Staff Software Engineer

Software Sushi · Miami, FL (Remote)

  • Designed MAGGIE end to end — ThreatMinder's AI entity-intelligence product for risk, fraud and identity vetting: domain model, API, data stores, agent layer, batch pipeline, back-office control plane and billing, with 12M+ documents processed
  • System design across four stores: a NestJS API on PostgreSQL, DynamoDB for entity searches and usage, Redis for cache and metering, and OpenSearch for retrieval — on ECS with Lambda, Kinesis and S3, including the pagination, indexing and graceful-degradation rules every other service follows
  • Author of @maggie/core, the internal library every service imports: typed entity-search models, DynamoDB repositories, a traced Envelope message contract and centralized logging, published to CodeArtifact on merge
  • Made model behaviour governable — a versioned use-case library (prompt, model and risk categories per version, gated rollout) so scoring changes ship as reviewable versions rather than code edits, alongside LangGraph workflows and MCP endpoints shipped as product surfaces
  • Designed the metering and billing layer: usage and AI-cost events with period aggregates, a cost-rate catalog and per-organization spend limits — the platform prices, bills and throttles itself, and degrades instead of failing user requests

  • Rebuilt the cloud underneath it at ThreatMinder: the monthly AWS bill ~86% lower (~$25k → under $3.5k) while the platform got faster; manual zip deploys replaced by infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD; Postgres CPU from a 58% average (peaks near 100%) to 0.3%, then 48 → 8 vCPUs
  • Sole architect of the Insurate document-AI pipeline: model bake-off → FastAPI → an 82-state Step Functions workflow, 16 Lambdas consolidated to 8, 97.7–100% field match against the incumbent vendor on a 179-PDF eval corpus
  • Grew the practice — took a small consultancy from internal bots to paid ML pipelines and production AI agents: scoping engagements, setting the delivery bar (IaC, CI/CD, observability, evals), mentoring engineers, and owning SEV response and on-call

BackChannel · São Paulo, Brazil (Remote)

  • Architect of the Brazilian fiscal engine behind every marketplace transaction — tax calculation, electronic invoicing (NF-e), document validation and audit trails — designed through the IBS/CBS reform transition
  • Modelled the fiscal domain in PostgreSQL (rules, rates, exemptions, jurisdictions) so regulatory change lands as data rather than as a rewrite
  • Backend services in Go, TypeScript and Python across AWS (ECS, Lambda, SQS, API Gateway) and Google Cloud
  • Designed the AI infrastructure behind smart recommendations and automated inventory matching on Vertex AI
  • Sole owner of company infrastructure (Terraform) and FaaS, with CI/CD across both clouds

Senior Backend Engineer & Founding Engineer

Curbo Technologies · Delaware, USA (Remote)

  • Founding engineer on the platform that became the product: owned curbo-backend end to end — NestJS / GraphQL federation across five countries (DO / CO / MX / BR / AR) — and owned the release path for four years.
  • Built the backend behind the storefront: vehicle listing and checkout, test-drive booking, inspection workflows and Sell My Car, the flow that let owners sell their own vehicles.
  • Restructured the platform as it grew: led the re-architecture of 11 modules across the multi-country monorepo, and built the tooling the other teams ran on — centralized GitHub Actions, a shared component library, Python migrations and Kubernetes/Flux on GCP.
