Work Experience

Senior Software Engineer, Nexus Studios (Contract) - Remote
Jul 2025 – Apr 2026
Rust, Go, gRPC, AWS, Terraform, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, OTEL
  • Built a live and VOD sports streaming application for the Meta Quest 3 and 3S devices, with immersive live game statistics and event data overlaid on the video stream within the headset.
  • Owned and developed the live game statistics pipeline, tuning Kafka producers and consumers, Rust async paths and binary serialization to keep end-to-end latency tight enough for live broadcast use.
  • Designed and implemented a gRPC API server in Rust with protobuf code generation, RBAC authorization and JWT-based authentication for Meta end-users and internal CMS operators.
  • Implemented an observability stack using a custom Go OTEL collector, Kafka, Prometheus (AWS AMP) and Grafana dashboards, significantly decreasing incident response times.
  • Orchestrated third-party API integrations (Sportradar, Tiledmedia) for real-time sports data ingestion and live video encoding.
  • Collaborated with client and frontend engineers to design database schemas and integrate live statistics and events with the Quest 3 application.
  • Provisioned and maintained AWS infrastructure across 6 environments using Terraform for long-lived resources and CloudFormation for ephemeral per-match deployments.
Senior Backend Engineer, Downstream - Portland, Oregon
Nov 2023 – May 2025
Rust, Go, Python, AWS, MongoDB, Docker, OTEL, Terraform, Redis, Kafka
  • Owned and led development of the Rust backend codebase for Downstream's custom content management system.
  • Redesigned the backend into a distributed, Kafka-driven architecture on AWS ECS, decoupling services and enabling scalability for high-throughput operations.
  • Designed and implemented key security features for a comprehensive security assessment of the CMS.
  • Revamped CI/CD pipelines and version control workflows, coordinating infrastructure deployments and upgrades across multiple client environments.
  • Spearheaded adoption of observability infrastructure through New Relic OTEL tracing, significantly improving incident response and error resolution times.
  • Optimized the MongoDB data model and query design, resulting in 60% lower execution times for high-volume endpoints.
  • Built a Go-based integration test harness for the Rust CMS API, validating MongoDB query performance and Kafka event flows ahead of production rollouts.
  • Mentored junior engineers in Rust development and testing patterns, cultivating on-the-job learning.
Software Consultant, Self-Employed - Buenos Aires, Argentina
Aug 2022 – Nov 2023
GitHub Actions, Kafka, Python, Rust, Go, C++, PostgreSQL, Redis
  • Delivered custom software solutions for clients, specializing in backend development and cloud infrastructure.
  • Architected and implemented scalable web applications in Python, Go and Rust, hosted mainly on AWS.
  • Reduced a client's monthly AWS spend by 37% through infrastructure right-sizing, reserved instance planning and S3 lifecycle policies.
  • Provided technical consulting on cloud optimization strategies, infrastructure modernization and development practices.
  • Built a REST API and event-driven ingestion pipeline in Rust for a media startup, deployed on AWS ECS with PostgreSQL and Kafka.
Intel - Hillsboro, Oregon
Jun 2018 – Aug 2022
Cloud Optimization Engineer, Emerging Growth Incubator
Jul 2020 – Aug 2022
Rust, Python, AWS, PostgreSQL, Flask, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform
  • Led development of an Intel Capital startup product for managing and optimizing cloud resources in Rust.
  • Developed a declarative language similar to Terraform's HCL that enabled users to enforce cost constraints and governance rules across cloud environments.
  • Collaborated directly with enterprise clients to identify operational challenges and prioritize feature development.
  • Achieved an average cost reduction of 35% for internal groups' AWS bills and around 40% across three external clients.
  • Managed hybrid infrastructure across on-prem and AWS environments for development and production systems.
Software Engineer, Internet of Things Group
Jun 2018 – Jul 2020
C++, Python, Cython, MQTT, Computer Vision, Docker, MATLAB, Graphite, Grafana
  • Built software for low-power industrial IoT devices deployed on factory floors for defect detection.
  • Collaborated in a joint demonstration with ADLINK, integrating Intel IoT software with their industrial PCs and securing a sizable partnership contract.
  • Integrated with the client's on-site hardware, cutting defect rates by roughly 50% at the client's principal facility.
  • Developed a neural network performance analysis tool for Intel's OpenVINO inference engine, providing actionable data points and metrics for the core development team.
  • Built a time-sensitive networking application PoC with Intel Labs using a robotic arm controller and a neuromorphic camera for low-power inference and control.

Projects

Crypto Exchange API

  • Built a Rust API for interacting with the Coinbase and Kraken crypto exchanges via REST and websocket endpoints.
  • Designed a declarative language for monitoring specific coin pairs and defining triggers and actions based on real-time market data.
  • Implemented micro-optimizations to improve hot-path efficiency and minimize latency.

DNS Resolver

  • Implemented a recursive DNS resolver in Rust.
  • Followed the specifications in RFC 1035 to interact with DNS servers.
  • Added a hexdump-style visualization tool to more easily inspect the contents of each DNS packet.
