Fractional CTO & Lead Cloud Architect
I architect and deploy enterprise-grade data federation systems, event-driven microservices, and autonomous cloud infrastructure. From PostgreSQL data warehouses to NoSQL document stores, I design database architectures that scale — and specialize in rescuing bloated tech stacks, executing zero-downtime migrations, and building WAF-resilient extraction pipelines that drive immediate business ROI.

Professional Experience
From startup accelerators to enterprise-scale infrastructure — architecting and leading at every level.
Fractional CTO & Principal Architect
- Own end-to-end technical strategy and infrastructure budget across three enterprise products — aligning architectural decisions with revenue targets and client retention KPIs.
- Architected the LitSignal Enterprise Data Federation — migrating a coupled Firestore (NoSQL) backend to a centralized PostgreSQL EDW with normalized relational schemas, CDC streaming, and outbox-pattern webhook dispatch.
- Provisioned and configured on-premise server hardware (CPU/RAM allocation, Docker daemon tuning, OS hardening) and established secure remote access via SSH tunneling — enabling full fleet administration from any location.
- Executed a comprehensive cloud-to-hardware TCO analysis and migrated workloads from GCE VMs to an on-premise Docker Swarm fleet, eliminating $24K+/yr in cloud costs while doubling throughput with 64GB RAM and 16-core bare-metal performance.
- Engineered a residential IP proxy rotation fleet with ISP-level routing, fingerprint randomization, and automated pool health monitoring to maintain 24/7 uptime behind enterprise WAFs (Cloudflare, TylerTech).
- Engineered complex cross-database query patterns — concurrent PostgreSQL and Firestore reads with in-memory joins, delivering sub-second load times across 10M+ federated records.
Co-Founder & Technical Lead
- Led architectural design and full-stack development of an AI prompt management platform integrating multiple LLMs (Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT).
- Architected an AI cost estimator using token-level usage forecasting, reducing customer API spend by 20%.
- Designed Firestore NoSQL data models for user session state, prompt versioning, and real-time collaboration features.
- Designed subscription infrastructure with Stripe API integration, payment lifecycle management, and webhook-driven billing automation.
Lead Engineer (Techstars)
- Sole engineering hire during the company's Techstars accelerator cohort — owned the complete technology roadmap, infrastructure decisions, and database architecture.
- Architected the full product stack on React, Next.js, and GCP — designing Firestore collections, Cloud Functions triggers, and subscription processing with Stripe.
Automation Architect
- Architected automated Accounts Receivable pipelines — achieving a 50% reduction in collection time through event-driven invoice processing.
- Built an autonomous data sync pipeline extracting and reconciling invoice data from the QuickBooks API on a nightly cron schedule.
Architecture That Delivers ROI
Production-grade systems engineered for scale, cost efficiency, and autonomous operation — delivered as a Fractional CTO.
Recovery Coaches — Autonomous Case & Skip-Tracing OS
A high-volume cash bond recovery firm was paralyzed by multi-thousand-row spreadsheets, 70% OCR and spelling discrepancies across court dockets, aggressive Cloudflare Turnstile anti-bot gates, and human error between researchers, callers, and contract signers.
Engineered an all-in-one Django/HTMX operational platform with role-based separation of duties. Integrated a stealth headless browser engine (Patchright + CapSolver) for automated skip-tracing against public records, coupled with a confidence scoring engine that retrains on manual team validations and runs 24/7 on a DigitalOcean sweep daemon.
Replaced fragile spreadsheets with an auto-advancing lead pipeline, reclaimed 30+ hours/week of manual research, and boosted lead qualification precision from 60% to 90%+.
LDI — Autonomous Trial Intelligence Platform
Monitoring 60,000+ active civil litigation cases with thousands of daily filings, bottlenecked by un-normalized county clerk portals, session timeouts, and enterprise WAFs.
Built an autonomous docket ingestion engine with persistent cursor state recovery across multi-file filings (MSJs, petitions, exhibits). Enforced deterministic QA gating (>7 pages, defendant MSJs) and strict LLM schema validation with confidence weights for entity extraction, deployed on bare-metal Docker Swarm.
Eliminated SaaS scraping costs, indexed 60,000+ active dockets, and replaced 40+ hours/week of manual research with an autonomous enterprise pipeline.
LitSignal — Enterprise Data Federation
Transitioning a fragmented, highly-coupled NoSQL (Firestore) CRM architecture into a centralized, relationally-mapped Enterprise Data Warehouse.
Architected a high-performance PostgreSQL backend with an event-driven webhook dispatcher utilizing the outbox pattern with Change Data Capture (CDC) synchronization, deployed on Google Cloud Run.
Transformed a rigid internal tool into a monetizable, external-facing Enterprise API product — enabling new revenue streams and cross-selling opportunities.
Sales Genius — Enterprise AI CRM
Building a full-stack data intelligence platform that could automate B2B sales cycles through data-driven outreach at enterprise scale.
WAF-hardened scraping fleet, AI-enriched contact profiling via Vertex AI / Gemini, and a multi-agent automation interface backed by 48 serverless cloud functions.
Accelerated B2B sales cycles by 3x through autonomous data intelligence and AI-generated outreach at scale.
Database Architecture & Migration
Expert-level PostgreSQL schema design, Firestore NoSQL document modeling, and complex cross-database migrations. From normalized relational schemas with optimized indexing to real-time document stores — I architect the data layer.
Fleet Telemetry Dashboards
Real-time, granular visibility into container health, AI qualification rates, and system latency across distributed Docker worker fleets.
Hardware Provisioning & Cloud Migration
Full-stack infrastructure ownership — from bare-metal hardware provisioning (CPU/RAM allocation, OS hardening) and SSH remote access setup, to cloud-to-hardware TCO analysis and zero-downtime Docker Swarm migrations.
Data Federation & Event-Driven Systems
Bridging SQL and NoSQL worlds — PostgreSQL data warehouses paired with Firestore real-time stores, CDC streaming, and asynchronous webhook dispatchers for enterprise interoperability.
