Christopher Collareta · 18 years in production
One senior engineer.
No account manager, no handoff, no one else writing the code.
I build backend systems, document automation pipelines, and the unglamorous software your operation actually runs on. The person you scope with is the person who ships it.
Faultline
Know before it breaks.
An incident management platform I designed, built, shipped, and run alone. ECS service health checking across customer AWS accounts through cross-account IAM, SQS worker pools, flap suppression, and circuit breakers — production infrastructure with real failure modes and real customers.
It’s the clearest answer to “what does this person’s work actually look like when nobody’s checking.”
Work that shipped.

Four things that don’t change.
- Precision over velocity
- Fast is worthless if it’s rewritten in six months.
- Full ownership
- Production-ready and documented, or it isn’t delivered.
- No unnecessary complexity
- The right tool, not the trendiest one.
- Direct communication
- If something slips, you hear it early, not at the deadline.
Available for new engagements.
Twenty minutes, no deck. Tell me what’s stuck and I’ll tell you honestly whether I’m the right person.
