• Tech Lead - Observability, Primer

  Nov, 2021 - Aug, 20231 year 9 months

  At Primer, I worked on core platform systems powering merchant-facing products, with a focus on scalability, performance, and data-driven insights. My contributions modernized key dashboard experiences, improved developer and customer experience, and unlocked new business opportunities.

  • Rebuilt the Payments List page (one of the most used areas of the merchant dashboard), migrating queries from SQL to Elasticsearch + Kafka. Reduced query latency from ~30 seconds to <500ms across millions of payments with 100+ searchable attributes. Enhanced UX by enabling search and filtering on any attribute (e.g., customer name, amount, currency, address).

  • Led migration from DynamoDB to CockroachDB for all dashboard databases, delivering multi-regional support, more efficient querying, and a significantly improved developer experience aligned with business requirements.

  • Built the backend for an observability platform using Firebolt + CubeJS, enabling merchants to access rich charts and insights into payment performance. This became a commercial product line, generating hundreds of thousands in revenue.

• Software Engineer + Tech Lead - Last Mile Delivery, Mercadona Tech

  Apr, 2018 - Jul, 20213 years 3 months

  As part of the engineering team, I designed and scaled critical systems to support high-growth e-commerce operations and logistics. My work enabled the company to save significant costs, handle rapid demand surges, and establish a more resilient technical foundation.

  • Built a custom vehicle routing engine that optimized ~5,000 deliveries and 100+ vehicles in under 5 minutes, saving ~€100k annually and enabling future extensions such as multi-warehouse routing.

  • Developed and maintained Relé, an internal Python library leveraging Google Pub/Sub, which allowed seamless scaling of the e-commerce platform across multiple teams. It improved developer onboarding and reduced integration friction across services.

  • Designed and deployed an ETL platform using Relé, reducing monthly costs by thousands of euros while enabling reliable ingestion of data into Google BigQuery for cross-product analytics.

  • Migrated interservice communication from brittle HTTP to resilient async processes, while also setting company-wide publishing and subscribing standards.

  • Optimized e-commerce platform performance, helping all API endpoints consistently meet a 250ms SLO, a critical achievement during COVID-19 quarantines when online grocery ordering demand spiked dramatically.
