Technologies: Distributed systems, database architecture, F1/Spanner, infrastructure scaling, technical debt triage

Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joebar/ Email: joe@barrera.org

Distributed systems architect. 30 years building infrastructure at CMU, Microsoft Research, Google. I help startups (10-100 people, Series A-C) avoid catastrophic scaling mistakes. I'd rather prevent your outage than debug it.

What I've built: Mach kernel at CMU under Rick Rashid. Research systems at Microsoft BARC (Gordon Bell, Jim Gray). 9 years on F1/Spanner at Google. 4 USPTO patents in distributed systems.

What I'm good at: "Your database architecture will fail at 10x scale, here's why and here's the fix." Technical debt triage with limited resources. Pattern recognition from decades of catastrophic failures. Currently thinking about LLM verification architectures and why static alignment is the VLIW of AI safety.

What I'm looking for: Fractional CTO or senior advisory role (20-30 hrs/week). Series A-C, 10-100 people, real infrastructure problems.

7 years in ML. Finance and medical imaging mostly, where PII is important. Mathematician by training.

Lately: - computer vision for medical and industrial use (segmentation, defect detection, inspection pipelines) in PyTorch/OpenCV - risk scoring and forecasting on imbalanced data (fintech, retail) - production ML pipelines and model serving in Python/SQL/Docker

B2B contracts. New builds or fixing what's already there. I stick around part-time after for maintenance and improvements.
