I design and scale real-time distributed systems processing telemetry from 6.2M+ IoT devices with sub-second latency, embedding LLM intelligence into enterprise platforms. Weekly ship cadence to production. 10 languages in active use. 48 own repos, 0 forks.
Principal-level AI Systems Architect with 23+ years designing and scaling distributed systems, real-time data platforms, and cloud-native AI infrastructure. Proven track record building large-scale event-driven architectures processing telemetry from 6.2M+ IoT devices in production with sub-second latency, and integrating LLM-powered intelligence into enterprise platforms.
I don't define myself by a framework. I work across 10 languages — JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, C#, Rust, Go, Dart, SQL, Bash — and choose the stack based on the problem, not my comfort zone. If the solution calls for plain Node.js, I write plain Node.js. If it calls for a Rust service on Axum, I build it in Rust. Frameworks are optional shortcuts: the foundation is mastery of the languages and the protocols underneath.
As founder of ARKIS GROUP, I lead a business group specializing in PropTech, cybersecurity, AI, and digital transformation, with a catalog of 16 products in production that have generated USD 85M+ in documented client savings and run 140+ AI agents. 48 own repos, 0 forks: every line is original code.
Core expertise · Four pillars, one integrated vision
What separates a framework user from a systems engineer.
I master the languages (JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, C#, Rust, Go) and protocols (HTTP, TCP, gRPC, MQTT, Modbus, OPC UA). Frameworks are optional shortcuts, not requirements. If Next.js or SpringBoot is sunset tomorrow, the system still runs.
I design in HTTP/2, gRPC, WebSocket, MQTT, and event-driven patterns. I know what happens under the hood when a library makes a call — and I can build the special case without the library.
16 products running in production, not slides. Every Arkis repo has Docker, CI/CD, observability, and carries real load. What I demo is what's already live, not what I plan to build.
48 own repos, 0 forks. Delivery cadence is weekly or better: architecture → implementation → deploy → telemetry. I live in the flow, not in the next epic sprint.
23+ years on critical systems: SCADA in oil & gas, IoT with 6.2M+ devices, multi-region platforms, event streaming with Kafka/Kinesis. None of this is learned by reading framework docs.
If it has no metric, it's not finished. Sub-second latency, event-level telemetry, OpenTelemetry observability, and dashboards anyone can read. Without numbers, they're just opinions.
Public and private GitHub consolidated. 0 forks: every repo is original code, written and maintained by me.
Visualizations sourced from my real GitHub, CV dates, and the current state of the Arkis catalog. No makeup.

CEPCOLSA / Multiple Clients·Oil & Energy
Foundation years: built deep expertise in enterprise database systems, infrastructure, and production operations.
Frameworks are conveniences I pick up when they fit. The strength is in the languages and protocols underneath: if Next.js, Django or SpringBoot disappeared tomorrow, the systems would still stand because the decisions were made in HTTP, TCP, and SQL.
