Summary
👤
SeniorGonzalo Maldonado is a Staff Software Engineer and founder with 11 years building compliance-critical, durable backend systems that run AI products and high-throughput services in production. He repeatedly turns fragile, outage-prone architectures into resilient platforms—replacing a Redis/Postgres/Sidekiq failure surface with Temporal durable workflows that achieved 99.999% completion and zero missed pages in production. Past wins include a zero-downtime migration from a Django monolith to a Go microservice with 100x throughput and 75% cost reduction, and pushing Microsoft-scale push notifications from 10s to 80ms at billion-event volumes. He cofounded Mocksi (a16z Speedrun) to cut enterprise staging from 12.5 days to 30 minutes using in-browser GDPR-friendly simulation and multi-LLM orchestration, and authored the first Terraform provider for Oracle Cloud later adopted officially. An active OSS contributor with PRs to Kubernetes core and maintenance work on oracle/terraform-provider-oci, he blends hands-on engineering, pragmatic leadership, and deep distributed-systems instincts. Based in San Francisco, he advises startups on AI infra, hybrid CPU/GPU scheduling, and FERPA-compliant architectures while focusing on building reproducible, auditable systems.
