%% A software engineering resume that exercises every body macro of the class
%% to demonstrate its capabilities. Loaded by main.tex with \input inside the
%% cvbody environment. The same file typesets in onecolumn, twocolumn, and
%% compressed layouts unchanged.

%% Body macros at a glance:
%%   \cvsection{name}, \cvsubsection{name}       section headings (H2, H3)
%%   \cventry[keys]{title}{side text}{date}      base entry
%%   \begin{cvgroup}[rule] ... \end{cvgroup}     indented group of sub-entries

%% Entry keys: oneline, flushdate, askip, bskip, noscale (\cventry only).
%% Empty arguments are dropped together with their | delimiter.


%% ---- About ------------------------------------------------------------------
%% Plain paragraph text. ATS platforms weigh the first section heavily.
%% Body text is ragged right; the class's justify environment justifies it.
\cvsection{About}

\begin{justify}
Senior software engineer with 8+ years of experience designing and operating distributed backend systems at scale. Specialized in \textbf{Go} and \textbf{Rust} services, Kubernetes platforms, and developer tooling. Led the migration of a payments platform to an event-driven architecture handling 40k requests per second at 99.99\% availability. Enjoys mentoring engineers, writing clear design documents, and contributing to open source, including a Rust storage engine and patches to the Go standard library. Looking for a staff-level role building reliable cloud infrastructure.
\end{justify}


%% ---- Experience -------------------------------------------------------------
\cvsection{Experience}

%% One-line \cventry: the date is flushed right with a dotted leader. Without
%% oneline, the entry is stacked: side text and date go on a second line.
%% The first entry of a section gets no gap above it. Each entry closes with a
%% single line of \cvtaglist chips naming the technologies used.
\cventry[oneline]{Senior Software Engineer}{Nimbravo Systems --- Los Angeles, CA}{03/2023 -- Present}
\begin{itemize}
  \item Lead a 6-engineer team owning the multi-region control plane for a managed Kubernetes offering that runs 2,000+ production clusters across 14 cloud regions, serving 300+ enterprise customers.
  \item Designed a Raft-based configuration store in Go that cut cluster provisioning time from 11 to 3 minutes.
  \item Introduced OpenTelemetry tracing across 40 services, cutting mean time to resolution (MTTR) by 35\%.
  \item Mentored 4 engineers to promotion; ran the backend interview loop.
\end{itemize}

%% CV tag lists can be inline or on a separate line -- no implicit whitespace
%% is thus added. Additional whitespaces need to be added manually.

%% One employer, several positions: a one-line \cventry for the employer,
%% followed by a ruled cvgroup with one \cvsubentry per position.
%% Sub-entries are one-line by default; flushdate=false keeps their dates
%% after a bar instead of flushing them right.
\cventry[oneline]{Lumenquay Pay}{San Francisco, CA}{06/2018 -- 02/2023}
\begin{cvgroup}[rule]
  \cvsubentry[flushdate=false]{Software Engineer II}{Payments Platform}{01/2021 -- 02/2023}
  \begin{itemize}
    \item Led the migration from a monolithic Rails checkout to Go microservices communicating over Kafka and gRPC, letting 12 product teams deploy independently and release daily instead of every two weeks.
    \item Built an idempotent ledger service processing \$2B+ in annual volume with exactly-once semantics.
    \item Reduced p99 checkout latency from 850\:ms to 210\:ms through request hedging and a regional read cache.
  \end{itemize}

  %% bskip: a sub-entry has no gap below by default; the bare key adds the
  %% same small gap a \cventry has before the paragraph that follows.
  \cvsubentry[flushdate=false, bskip]{Software Engineer I}{Checkout Team}{06/2018 -- 12/2020}
  Shipped the merchant-facing checkout SDK in TypeScript, adopted by 1,200+ merchants within its first year. Served as the primary on-call engineer for the checkout API and authored its incident runbooks.

  \smallskip
  \cvtaglist{TypeScript, Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, GitHub Actions, GraphQL, Docker, NGINX}

%% An explicit askip replaces the gap that a \cventry normally gets after a
%% cvgroup.
\cventry[oneline, askip=0.5em]{Software Engineering Intern}{Orbitrove Labs --- Remote}{06/2017 -- 09/2017}
\begin{itemize}
  \item Implemented a Python CLI for reproducible ML experiment tracking, later open-sourced by the company.
\end{itemize}
%% \cvtag sets a single chip; used here because only one technology applies.
\cvtag{Python}


%% ---- Projects ---------------------------------------------------------------
%% Projects separated by dashed dividers. \href is available in every layout;
%% links are clickable with the `hyper' class option.
\cvsection{Open-Source Projects}

\cventry[oneline]{quill-kv}{Embedded storage engine}{2022 -- Present}
Crash-safe key-value store built on an LSM tree with lock-free memtables. 2.3k stars on GitHub, used in production by 3 companies. Source: \href{https://github.com/adrian-castellanos-swe/quill-kv}{github.com/adrian-castellanos-swe/quill-kv}

\smallskip
\cvtaglist{Go, net/http, database/sql, HTTP/2, pprof, Gerrit}


%% ---- Page break -------------------------------------------------------------
%% \newpage starts a new page (in the current column only). Here it keeps the
%% Technical Skills heading from being stranded at the bottom of page 1 in the
%% one-column layout; drop it for twocolumn or compressed builds.
\newpage


%% ---- Column break -----------------------------------------------------------
%% In a twocolumn layout, everything below goes to the right column.
%% In the default onecolumn layout, \cvcolumnbreak is silently ignored.
\cvcolumnbreak
