Experience

Forward Deployed Engineer · Solanthic EngineeringJul 2026 · Present
  • Embedded with an enterprise deployment, owning the software between edge devices and a multi-tenant monitoring platform.

  • Ran a live database archival to S3 Glacier with resumable, idempotent scripts while production ingestion stayed up.
  • Built a Python MQTT bridge that publishes device events to AWS IoT Core over mTLS (retries, heartbeats, deterministic message IDs); validated it with a full event replay in a dev environment: zero loss, empty DLQ.
  • Technical link between client operations, hardware engineers and leadership: weekly syncs, written recaps with owners and dates, in English and Spanish.
