I'm someone who enjoys building fast, reliable systems and solving complex technical problems. Over the past year, I've worked on everything from ultra-low-latency trading engines in C++ and Rust to building a high-performance CPU emulator from the ground up. I’ve had the chance to work with lead backend developers at startups, optimize systems for scale. I’m comfortable working across the stack, whether that’s building APIs with Express.js and TypeScript or diving deep into Kafka pipelines and distributed architectures. I care about writing clean, maintainable code, and I’m always up for learning something new or tackling tough challenges with a team.

Hands-on CTO / principal engineer with 20+ years in software engineering. Technical co-founder, CTO/CPO, architect, fractional product owner, and engineering lead.
I work best at the intersection of architecture and implementation: designing data-heavy systems well, then staying close enough to the engineering to keep latency, operability, failure modes, and tradeoffs grounded in reality.
Selected work: fractional lead/architect for ground-up KPI platform rewrite; 5-person FTE team; company later exited for €10M. CTO/CPO for crypto/data product; live matching of 1M+ complex dynamic slices against continuous on-chain/off-chain metric streams; high-throughput, near-real-time latency suitable for trading workflows. ClickHouse-backed worker pipelines processing billions of rows/day while preserving near-real-time downstream availability.
Looking for freelance, contract, fractional CTO, principal engineer, technical lead, or data engineering work.
Best fit: backend-heavy products, analytics/data infrastructure, complex internal tools, low-latency pipelines, or early-stage teams that need one senior person with both breadth and depth.
Remote: Yes: available for US hours

Email: pedro@pedroalonso.net
Full-stack engineer, 15+ years. Currently wrapping up a contract at Xero building the external API gateway for their financial analytics platform. Before that I built and shipped ReframeHQ solo, an AI product-photo app for Shopify merchants, still live. Modal GPU inference pipeline, background workers, automatic credit refunds on failed jobs, zero-downtime deploys on Dokku. One person running a GPU pipeline in production.
I write detailed, honest build logs of my AI/systems experiments, measured results, not hype (e.g. building a recommender in pure Postgres and watching the embeddings lose to ORDER BY count(*)): https://www.pedroalonso.net
Full-time or contract.

Senior backend engineer available for contract, fractional, contract-to-hire, or full-time opportunities. I have 30+ years of experience building and operating production systems across startups, SaaS, media, financial services, telecom, and public safety domains. I've worked in both early-stage and growth-stage companies and enjoy owning systems end-to-end, from architecture and implementation through deployment and operations. For the past 13 years I've focused primarily on Ruby on Rails backend platforms, APIs, PostgreSQL, cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), and production reliability. My experience includes backend architecture, distributed systems, database performance tuning, cloud migrations, DevOps ownership, and operating customer-facing systems in production. I enjoy helping teams solve scaling, reliability, modernization, and operational challenges. Particularly interested in backend, platform, infrastructure, and data-intensive systems, though I'm comfortable contributing across the stack when needed. Available to help with Rails modernization, production reliability, cloud migrations, PostgreSQL performance tuning, backend platform development, and API-heavy applications.
