Diego Escobar
Senior Backend & Reliability Engineer | Fintech & iGaming Specialist
About me
I am a Senior Software Engineer specializing in high-throughput, high-risk environments. In industries like DeFi and iGaming, downtime isn't just annoying—it costs millions. I don't just write code; I build infrastructure that handles volatility.
My track record includes protecting billions in TVL as a core contributor to the MakerDAO ecosystem and architecting massive B2B launches for WynnBet across 15 US states. I bridge the gap between backend development and SRE to ensure 99.99% uptime during periods of hyper-growth.
I am trilingual (English, French, Spanish) and expert at aligning distributed international engineering teams with critical business objectives.
If you need a senior engineer to handle complex scaling challenges in Fintech or Gaming, let’s talk.
