Software Architect / Backend Engineering Lead

I design systems that hold up under real load.

Five-plus years turning complex, multi-tenant problems — healthcare, apiculture, payments, enterprise — into backend architecture that stays fast, secure, and easy for the next engineer to reason about.

Why teams bring me in

Architecture that survives contact with production

Not just code that works today — systems built to still make sense a year and three engineers later.

FIG. 01

Scalable architecture

Multi-role, multi-tenant platforms with clean domain modeling and backend foundations that don't need a rewrite at scale.

FIG. 02

Performance, measured

A track record of cutting API latency and making large-volume queries efficient — improvements teams can feel, not just claim.

FIG. 03

Full-stack fluency

Backend depth paired with JavaScript, jQuery, and Vue on the front end — I can ship the whole feature, not just half of it.

FIG. 04

Leadership by example

I lead through the quality of my own work and trust I extend to others — not pressure. Engineers on my teams take ownership because they're given room to.

FIG. 05

Simple over clever

My working motto: complex problems should be developed simply. Every architecture decision gets tested against that line.

FIG. 06

Concept to production

I've taken products from a blank whiteboard to reliable systems running in production — and stayed to keep them that way.

Selected work

Engineering that shipped and stayed shipped

Multi-tenant SaaS platforms

SHEET 01 / 04

Built and led multi-role, multi-tenant products from the ground up, applying OOP and SOLID principles to keep the domain model clean as tenants and features multiplied.

LaravelMySQLMongoDBRedisMulti-tenancy

SSO, security & reusable architecture

SHEET 02 / 04

Designed a unified authentication strategy and internal SDKs so every service could talk to every other service securely — without each team reinventing auth.

SSOOAuthAPI SecuritySDK DesignJava

Frontend & JavaScript delivery

SHEET 03 / 04

Delivered interactive UIs, modal-driven workflows, data tables, and form validation that made the product feel fast and made the codebase easier to build on next.

JavaScriptjQueryVueLivewireUI Engineering

Performance, DevOps & cloud reliability

SHEET 04 / 04

Tuned production environments on AWS with Docker, NGINX, and CI/CD automation — trading downtime and guesswork for reliability the team could set a clock by.

Let's talk

Have a system that needs an architect?

I take on roles where strong engineering, product thinking, and technical leadership can move the needle — not just keep the lights on.
