I am a freelance Cloud Architect & Software Engineer with over 20 years of experience designing and operating platforms in travel, media, and SaaS. My work bridges cloud infrastructure, automation, and data connectivity, with a focus on building systems that scale smoothly while staying flexible. As founder of QL4B, I’ve grown a small studio dedicated to exploring what’s possible at the intersection of cloud-native engineering and applied problem-solving. From multi-region architectures to event-driven workflows, I design solutions that adapt to complexity without losing clarity. I’m motivated by the challenge of making things work that “shouldn’t” — combining curiosity, math-minded thinking, and hands-on coding. Colleagues and clients describe me as dependable, creative, and collaborative: someone who can dive deep technically while keeping the bigger picture in view. I help companies unlock, extract, and operationalize data from sources that aren’t straightforward. My approach blends three core pillars: 1. Automation & Data Extraction • High-performance scrapers (dynamic sites, headless browsers, APIs) • Anti-bot handling (rotating proxies, session management, automation resilience) • Rapid prototyping → production-ready systems 2. Reverse Engineering • Protected APIs, obfuscated payloads, or hidden endpoints • Deconstructing network flows and browser logic • Turning “inaccessible” systems into structured, usable data feeds 3. Data Pipelines & Delivery • Cloud-native pipelines (AWS Lambda, Firehose, DynamoDB, S3, OpenSearch) • Scalable architectures for continuous collection and analysis • Clean data outputs: CSV, JSON, APIs, or dashboards ⸻ What sets me apart • 360° problem-solving: from reverse engineering to automation to analytics. • Reliability at scale: not one-off scripts, but resilient, modular systems. • Proven track record: I’ve built production-grade pipelines processing millions of records daily. ⸻ What I deliver • Structured data feeds (APIs, databases, dashboards) • Scalable web data collection systems • Automated workflows that save time and cut costs • Documentation, monitoring, and support ⸻ Example Projects (anonymized) • E-commerce Price Tracker: Automated daily data collection from dynamic retail sites → cloud pipeline → real-time dashboards. • Airfare Monitor: Reverse-engineered flight search APIs → fare data pipeline → client-facing analytics layer. • Financial Document Harvester: Large-scale collection of municipal and county-level tax documents → normalized archive with search & filters. ⸻ 🚀 Whether you need to unlock a protected data source or build a scalable pipeline to process millions of records, I bring the expertise to deliver solutions that others can’t.
