Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Torrico is a hands-on Software Architect and founder with 10+ years of experience modernising and maintaining mission-critical web and backend systems across enterprise, agency and product contexts. He specialises in pragmatic legacy modernisation, Drupal-heavy platforms and backend APIs, while also delivering mobile (Flutter), applied ML/computer vision prototypes and hardware-adjacent solutions (Raspberry Pi + Python) that integrate reliably into products. Comfortable both stabilising existing landscapes and introducing clean-architecture capabilities, he routinely translates between technical and non-technical stakeholders as an embedded consultant. As founder of Epsilon Labs and current architect at Helga, he pairs delivery-focused engineering with coaching to raise long-term team capability rather than shipping one-off fixes. Notably, he balances deep legacy experience (ColdFusion/MS SQL) with modern stacks and fast ML prototyping, enabling pragmatic, production-ready trade-offs.
