Hello, I'm Kel! 👋🏼

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with 12 years of engineering experience, including 6+ years specializing in web applications and native mobile architectures with a focus on render latency optimization, asynchronous data streaming, and offline-resilient systems.

  • iOS: Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, Swift Concurrency, Apple Instruments, Core Data, URLSession, Keychain
  • Android: Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Coroutines & Flow, Android Jetpack, Keystore
  • Testing: Cypress, Playwright, Jest, XCTest, JUnit
  • Observability: Datadog, Sentry

Technical Highlights

Event-Driven Trading Infrastructure

A production-grade event-driven algorithmic trading bot, designed to serve as a reference architecture for zero-trust cloud infrastructure, automated GitOps delivery pipelines, and real-time observability.

  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Orchestrated cloud resource deployment programmatically via Terraform, enforcing declarative configurations, structural validation checks, and tag-based associations.

  • Perimeter & Network Security: Provisioned an isolated DigitalOcean VPC network and enforced firewall rules to block unauthorized inbound connections and limit outbound egress strictly to DNS, HTTP/S, and NTP boundaries.

  • Zero-Trust Secrets Management: Integrated Doppler to inject application secrets and RSA cryptographic credentials directly into container memory at startup, eliminating the need to store plaintext keys or configs on the host disk.

  • Container Hardening & Least Privilege: Engineered multi-stage Docker builds to minimize runtime surface areas, executing services under a low-privilege system user while restricting database and telemetry port bindings to prevent public exposure.

  • Observability Pipeline: Configured a local Grafana Alloy telemetry collector to scrape application-level Prometheus metrics (API latency histograms, inventory levels, PnL) and remote-write them directly to Grafana Cloud.

  • Automated GitOps Pipeline: Programmed a GitHub Actions workflow executing automated testing with coverage metrics, terraform validation, security scanning, image publication to GitHub Container Registry (GHCR), and SSH-based remote deployments.

Stack: DigitalOcean, Terraform, Docker/Compose, GitHub Actions, Grafana Alloy, Doppler Secrets Manager, PostgreSQL, Python.
