Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRichard Hernandez is a backend-focused software engineer with eight years of professional experience building scalable, secure services using Node.js, Go, Rust and a variety of databases and ORMs. He has repeatedly delivered high-throughput, production systems for finance, telecom and enterprise customers—work that ranges from Java REST services processing thousands of orders per day to gRPC/HTTP2 microservices at Fonoster. Passionate about software architecture, he favors pragmatic backend design and has hands-on experience integrating user management, domain services and precondition checks in open-source projects like fonoster/fonoster. Based in Santo Domingo, he combines strong operational awareness (Redis, MongoDB, Postgres, Oracle) with a taste for low-level correctness and performance tuning. Colleagues rely on him to move features safely from design to production while keeping systems observable and resilient. He’s driven by challenges and continuous learning, recently deepening his interests in Go and Rust for backend architecture.
