Download my resume

I am a seasoned architect, strategist, and technical leader with over 20 years of experience building distributed systems, data platforms, and feedback-driven systems. I specialize in designing systems where humans and machines co-create structured artifacts that drive decisions, and in building the feedback loops that continuously improve those systems over time.

My work spans event-driven architectures, workflow-driven data systems, and training and evaluation pipelines grounded in real-world domains such as healthcare, compliance, and enterprise operations. I focus on causality, reproducibility, and designing systems that behave predictably under complex, evolving conditions.

Throughout my career, I have modernized legacy systems, designed distributed architectures, and built platforms that integrate data, models, and human input into cohesive workflows. I have worked across a wide range of industries, consistently translating complex, domain-specific problems into systems that support reliable decision-making and continuous improvement.

Beyond implementation, I shape how teams think about systems. I establish patterns for modeling, documentation, and decision-making that enable engineers and non-engineers to collaborate effectively. My approach emphasizes clarity, structured reasoning, and long-term system integrity over short-term optimization.

I am particularly interested in applying these patterns to intelligent systems that operate over real-world workflows, where correctness, interpretability, and feedback are as important as raw capability.

Testimonials
Gordo's wealth of technical knowledge--and his eagerness to share it with his colleagues--were pivotal in helping guide a fast-moving startup in a demanding sector of the healthcare industry. Gordo pushed Veda's engineering teams by constantly reaching for better patterns, abstractions, and solutions. I became a better engineer by getting the chance to work with him, and the company that hires him next will undoubtedly benefit from his vast experience.
Trevor Croxson - Staff Software Engineer at Veda
Gordo is one of the smartest people I've had the pleasure of working with. He has an expertise with infrastructure and architecture that I've yet to see anyone match. He always pushes for best practices, and consistently set an example of excellence within our organization. He is always willing to jump in and solve a problem, and is an absolute wizard in finding obscure documentation. There are few engineers I would recommend more highly out there.
Thomas Dickerson - Senior Software Engineer at veda
Gordo is an exceptional technical leader with a proven track record at Veda, where he served as team manager, principal engineer, and in various other technical roles. He consistently provided technical direction, led by example, and readily took on any assignment. In addition to his technical skills, Gordo was a committed mentor to other engineers, offering guidance on design, approach, and career development. Gordo would be a valuable asset to any team seeking technical leadership.
Mark Wochos - Chief Information Security Officer at Veda
Gordo is a highly skilled engineer and built so much of the software from the ground up. In my time working with Gordo, I learned much of my software expertise from him. He is patient and does a great job explaining things and breaking things down. He answered all my questions no matter how small they were, and I was treated with absolute respect and as an equal, which I feel can be scarce at times as a female in tech.
