XR Extreme Reach

Principal Architect

Architected and led development of several innovative projects that transformed the company's technology platform:

• Next-Generation Architecture Proposal - Authored comprehensive architecture proposal for platform modernization, outlining migration strategy from monolithic C# application and MS-SQL database to microservices architecture with Next.js frontend. The proposal detailed cost optimization through Linux-based infrastructure, PostgreSQL migration, and comprehensive CI/CD automation using Vercel and Railway, projected to reduce infrastructure costs by 60% while improving scalability and developer velocity.
• Design Lab Architecture - Architected Next.js-based creative editing platform comparable to Adobe After Effects and Figma. Designed system architecture enabling users to edit video creative assets and HTML5 advertisements, with integrated AI capabilities for automated generation. Implemented Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO) engine architecture to generate thousands of creative variations from product feeds.
• Social Delivery Platform Architecture - Architected comprehensive extension to XR's platform enabling clients to create, manage, and deploy social media campaigns. Designed integration architecture with Meta, TikTok, and Snapchat APIs to automate creative delivery and campaign management, expanding XR's market reach.
• AI Agent System Architecture - Designed and implemented AI-powered conversational interface architecture integrated across Design Lab and XR platform. Built using Vercel AI SDK with advanced prompt engineering and context management. The project won the Best Technical Innovation Award at XR Extreme Reach 2025 Hackathon.

Certified Kernel, LLC

Software Architect

Led architecture and development of multiple high-traffic platforms at this unicorn Web3 security company, including CertiK Skynet (Web3 security rating and due diligence platform), CertiK Corporate Website, and Shentu Chain Explorer. I laid a firm foundation that enabled sustained growth and scalability over multi-year product lifecycles that is still in use today.

• Frontend Architecture Modernization - Architected and executed migration of Skynet frontend to Next.js in early 2021, establishing CertiK as an early adopter of Vercel's frontend cloud platform. This architectural decision resulted in improved performance and developer experience, setting the foundation for future growth.
• Service Orchestration Platform - Designed and implemented a production-grade service orchestration cluster using HashiCorp Nomad in early 2021, consolidating all Skynet backend APIs and scheduled jobs into a unified, scalable infrastructure platform. This architecture enabled better resource utilization and simplified deployment processes.
• CMS Integration Architecture - Integrated Contentful CMS in late 2021, enabling self-service content management for business teams across Skynet and corporate websites. This architectural decoupling reduced developer overhead by 40% and accelerated content updates from days to minutes.
• GraphQL API Gateway Architecture - Architected and developed a high-performance GraphQL API gateway in early 2022, implementing sophisticated in-memory caching strategies to serve as the unified data access layer for all CertiK's internal data sources. This architecture reduced API response times by 70% and eliminated redundant data fetching.
• Scalability & Cost Optimization Architecture - Following the successful launch of Skynet Quest in 2024 which brought in huge spike in traffic, implemented Cloudflare integration to mitigate bot traffic and DDoS attacks. Designed and deployed a multi-layer caching architecture with graceful degradation and overload protection. Architected self-hosted Next.js API cluster to handle consistent high-volume traffic, reducing Vercel infrastructure costs by $50K+ annually while maintaining performance SLAs.
• Infrastructure as Code Migration - Led comprehensive AWS infrastructure migration in 2024, relocating all Skynet resources (EC2 instances, DynamoDB tables, S3 buckets) to a dedicated AWS sub-account. Implemented infrastructure as code using Pulumi and Ansible, enabling granular cost tracking, enhanced security posture with strict PII access controls, and fully automated deployment pipelines.

Skynet became CertiK's second-largest revenue stream with high profit margins, demonstrating 4+ years of continuous growth and serving as a model for scalable architecture within the organization.
