The problem

Skimli needed a platform that could grow feature by feature without turning into one tangled codebase, and long-running jobs that could survive failures and retries.

What I built

Working alongside the CTO, I defined the technical strategy and architected a platform of ten NestJS microservices behind an API gateway.

Temporal Workflow handles distributed task coordination and durable execution, so long-running work keeps its state through crashes, deploys and retries. Data lives in PostgreSQL and everything runs in Docker on AWS.

The result

I owned the full lifecycle, from the first architecture decisions through to production reliability.
