About

I'm Misael Paredes — a backend architect who turns complex business rules into systems that stay fast, observable, and easy to evolve.

Over a decade I've worked across retail, fintech, and SaaS — from store inventory APIs to payment reconciliation at scale. I care about clear boundaries, honest SLOs, and teams that understand the why behind every design decision.

Recently I've been building AI-assisted products with Elixir and RAG, because the best assistants still need a solid backend: retrieval, rate limits, audit trails, and deployment discipline.

I consult on architecture reviews, backend modernization, and hands-on delivery with small, senior squads.
