The latest achievements on a CTO role were:

It was designed for extra high load and it can handle up to 200 requests/second without meaningful latency increase. The service is fully serverless and built using AWS infrastructure.
• Moved high loaded API from monolith backend to microservices and cut service AWS cost for 3x. Migrated the web app from Django server rendering to ReactJS static hosting and cut service AWS cost for 5x.
