Hi, I'm Gil - a technical architect, traveler, and mixologist who finds joy in building systems, solving problems, and crafting creative solutions both in tech and life. This blog is my playground for sharing what I've learned, exploring new ideas, and adding value to whoever stumbles across it.
What I do
I help businesses build smarter, scalable systems. I've architected SaaS platforms from zero to MVP, modernized legacy infrastructures, and led teams to make technology simpler and more effective. From designing cloud infrastructure to optimizing CI/CD pipelines and slashing tech costs by 50%, I love using technology to create meaningful impact.
I've worked across HR tech, e-commerce, FAANG and enterprise SaaS - building products that handle massive data loads and tackling the kind of sticky, complex problems that make engineers geek out.
What lights me up
Outside of engineering, you'll find me perfecting old fashioned recipes, chasing sunsets while traveling, or diving into books on business and self-growth. I've explored the pyramids in Giza, sailed the Cape Verde coast, and taken food tours through neighborhoods you won't find on Google - because connecting with people and their stories often sparks my best ideas. Whether it's software or cocktails, everything I create tells a story.
Why this blog exists
This space is part passion project, part portfolio. I share insights on cloud architecture, automation, travel reflections, and more - all with the goal of continuous learning and growth. If something here resonates or you need help scaling a team or product, reach out. Otherwise, stick around and explore.
