Solution Architecture
Architecture reviews, technical design, modernization paths and scalable solution decisions across business-critical systems.
Raul Lopez Aguilar · Principal Technology Consultant
I design technology solutions that connect business, cloud and software.
I help organizations make better technical decisions, integrate complex systems and turn operational problems into scalable technology solutions — while remaining hands-on when implementation matters.
Technology work with business context.
My work sits between architecture, implementation and decision-making. I can assess the problem, define a practical technical path, coordinate delivery and step into code, APIs, cloud services and troubleshooting when needed.
Cloud & Backend Engineering
AWS and GCP workloads, Python APIs, serverless systems, containers, databases, CI/CD and backend implementation.
Systems Integration
APIs, identity, ERP, e-commerce, data workflows and enterprise platforms connected into maintainable operating systems.
Technology Advisory
Build-vs-buy analysis, vendor evaluation, technical due diligence, troubleshooting and pragmatic technology roadmaps.
Selected work & technical labs.
Public projects are used as technical evidence. Enterprise work is described at a high level to preserve confidentiality while showing the scale and type of problems solved.
Google Cloud Run Scalability & Load Testing
Containerized FastAPI workload deployed to Google Cloud Run to evaluate application behavior under concurrent traffic and different scaling configurations.
FastAPI + PostgreSQL REST API
Backend project covering REST API design, relational persistence, automated tests and containerized local environments.
Centralized Identity Architecture
Designed centralized authentication using Azure AD B2C and SAML for 35,000+ users, enabling secure access and third-party platform integrations.
Serverless User Onboarding
Designed a serverless onboarding solution supporting 5,000+ users and reducing manual onboarding effort by approximately 70%.
Engineering depth. Technology ownership.
My career evolved from software development into cloud engineering, technical leadership and broader technology ownership. Today I work across architecture, integrations, cloud, business systems, vendors and technical execution.
PROFILE
Software → Cloud → Leadership → Architecture
Experience spans hands-on engineering, cloud-native systems, enterprise integrations, technical teams and executive-facing technology decisions.
CURRENT FOCUS
Practical architecture and delivery
I am most useful where a company needs someone who can understand the business problem, define the solution, challenge vendors and still understand the implementation details.
