Active Advisory: Fintech & High-Throughput Event Streaming
10+ years architecting hyper-scale backend microservices, resilient distributed engines, and reactive multi-platform client applications for US venture-backed startups.
The Engineer & Startup Track Record
A battle-tested history serving as Founding Engineer, Head of Engineering, and Fractional Staff Systems Architect. Translating aggressive product visions into unbreakable production machinery.
High-Frequency Double-Entry Ledger Engine
Role: Principal Systems Architect & Interim Lead
Architected the core immutable transactional ledger processing over $85,000,000 in monthly volume with p99 latency guaranteed below 12ms. Replaced legacy monolithic database bottleneck with CockroachDB multi-region replication and Rust zero-allocation serialization.
Real-Time Fleet Telematics & Driver Network
Role: Founding Principal Engineer
Designed from ground-up the streaming telemetry ingest supporting 40,000 concurrent commercial vehicle drivers transmitting GPS coordinates and accelerometer events at 10Hz. Built the offline-first driver tablet app in React Native using TurboModules and custom C++ geospatial spatial indexing.
HIPAA-Compliant Patient Telemetry Pipeline
Role: Fractional Architect & Security Lead
Engineered end-to-end encrypted medical data ingest on AWS GovCloud with zero trust envelope encryption. Created patient clinical review app with offline cryptographic verification, biometrics, and deterministic FHIR/HL7 schema normalization.
Autonomous Distributed Edge Caching Proxy
Role: Founding Staff Systems Engineer
Designed a global proxy cache engine in Rust with eBPF network hooks that intercepts repeated queries to backend DB instances. Reduced client cloud computing and ingress database bills by an average of 42% overnight.
Core Engineering Disciplines & Stack
Deep architectural mastery across low-level systems programming, reactive mobile user interfaces, and self-healing cloud automation.
Distributed Web Systems
High-throughput event-driven microservices designed for zero memory fragmentation, predictable tail latencies, and distributed consensus across volatile network partitions.
Mobile Engineering
Fluid, 120fps cross-platform mobile apps for iOS and Android. Bridging native C++ and Objective-C/Kotlin modules directly into high-speed reactive TypeScript via modern JSI runtimes.
Cloud & DevOps
Multi-region cluster orchestration, automated infrastructure-as-code, and comprehensive eBPF/Datadog observability frameworks built for immediate failover resilience.
Featured Production Case Studies
Technical breakdowns of real-world system architecture triumphs under extreme concurrency and zero tolerance for data corruption.
Zero-Downtime Database Migration under 50k QPS
The Challenge: Migrate 45 Terabytes of mission-critical user accounts, double-entry financial journals, and telemetry logs from an overburdened PostgreSQL primary to a horizontally sharded CockroachDB cluster without a single millisecond of service maintenance window.
The Solution: Constructed a dual-write CDC (Change Data Capture) orchestrator powered by Debezium and Kafka. Implemented an asynchronous verification shadow daemon comparing sha256 checksums across both datasets in real-time, executing an atomic cutover via weighted Envoy routing.
Sub-50ms Global Audio/Video Synchronization Engine
The Challenge: Deliver ultra-low latency audio/video collaborative whiteboard sessions on React Native apps running on disparate iOS and low-end Android hardware without battery exhaustion or dropped WebRTC tracks.
The Solution: Implemented a custom C++ WebRTC SFU wrapper via React Native JSI, bypassing JavaScript bridge serialization bottlenecks. Designed an offline-first CRDT tree in SQLite to resolve stylus and annotation state conflicts autonomously across weak 4G cellular links.
Trusted by High-Velocity US Technical Leaders
Direct remarks from startup founders and VPs of Engineering who hired Cybaghost to lead critical architectural milestones.
“Cybaghost completely refactored our core transaction pipeline before our Series B diligence audit. Not only did our P99 drop under 15ms, but the entire VC technical committee praised our system design doc as the cleanest they had evaluated all quarter.”
“Finding someone who genuinely masters low-level distributed primitives AND high-fidelity reactive mobile code is virtually impossible. Cybaghost delivered our flagship mobile logistics client and backend sync engine in half the forecasted timeline.”
“An elite 10x systems engineer in the truest sense. Cybaghost identified a $35k/month cloud cost leak on day two of our engagement, then redesigned our deployment pipeline to withstand 10x traffic spikes during national press coverage.”
Initiate Architectural Consultation
Available for select fractional advisory, principal system audit engagements, and lead architect commitments for early & growth-stage US venture-backed startups.
Engagements typically range from 2-week architectural deep audits to 6-month fractional Staff/Principal architect retainers.
