I’ve had the opportunity to create and implement scalable backend hosting platforms using Java technologies like Guice, JAX-RS/Jersey, ZMQ, and MongoDB, which significantly reduced costs and improved system efficiency. By leveraging Terraform modules and integrating cloud-based billing tools such as Maxio, I streamlined user sign-ups, automated deployment processes, and managed metered billing, driving operational efficiency across the board.Over the course of four years, I successfully led and managed the lifecycle of five key projects, coordinating teams and resources to consistently meet project objectives. Additionally, I secured acceptance into the AWS Migration Acceleration Program, gaining valuable funding and development support to enhance our migration efforts.I led teams across diverse high-ticket projects, delivering key milestones in game development, Web3 platforms, and innovative apps. Notable projects include Drop Squad: The Escape, Word Rally, a Web3 real estate marketplace for Orca Capital, and the NFT trading platform Wincast.io.

As fractional CTO of Wheelhouse, I guide the company's high level technical decisions. This includes, vendor selection, integration strategy, management of development teams, and overall technical architecture.
