Work Experience
Intermediate Software Engineer at Achievers, Toronto October 2025 - Present
Design, develop, and maintain cloud-based Python and Go microservices for a global B2B SaaS, using GCP, gRPC, Pub/Sub, and Kubernetes (GKE) for scalable service communication and deployment.
Contributed heavily to design and implementation of a resilient top-up checkout workflow, building Python backend flows, a Go-based Avalara tax integration, Stripe payment handling, and saga-style distributed transaction coordination.
Contributed to Elasticsearch indexing pipeline simplification, helping evaluate architecture tradeoffs and implementing Go batch processor workers, queue tuning, and Airflow/Dataflow orchestration changes that reduced cluster CPU by 30% and memory pressure by 20% while keeping search latency under 200ms.
Built internal AI tooling with a RAG pipeline and MCP server for vendor API documentation, retrieval, and JSON config validation, reducing vendor integration timelines from 4 weeks to 3 and helping the team exceed its annual integration goal by 20% (12/10).
Improved New Relic observability for Elasticsearch data sync queues with custom queue-state events, backlog alerts, and dashboards; implementation pattern was later standardized in the shared batch processing library.
Mentored 2 co-op software engineers through onboarding and project delivery, providing code reviews, pair programming support, and technical guidance across marketplace backend services.
Software Engineer at Achievers, Toronto November 2022 - October 2025
Developed React components across Single SPA micro frontends, collaborating with Product and UX on Figma-based workflows while integrating GraphQL gateway endpoints with backend microservices.
Maintained highly available order processing and vendor integration services for a marketplace platform handling 10+ orders/min ($10M+ 2024 revenue), resolving critical production issues within SLAs.
Integrated external APIs including NetSuite and Akeneo to streamline product merchandising workflows, improving pipeline efficiency by 66.6%; optimized MySQL and Redis-backed service performance.
Web Developer at Tecnoglass, Colombia November 2021 - November 2022
Developed full-stack web applications using Python, Django, JavaScript, and PostgreSQL to reduce paperwork and optimize business processes; built a centralized Flask REST API for LDAP-backed authentication.
Designed and implemented a LoRaWAN temperature and humidity monitoring system for glass assembly plants, including hardware selection, installation, and a real-time Django Channels dashboard.
