Aldo Koni

Led end-to-end technical strategy and delivery for an in-house REST API platform, evaluating system architecture and proposing improvements to support product scalability. Defined and managed development roadmaps, task prioritisation, and delivery timelines. Coordinated cross-functional teams (developers, designers, analysts) overseeing a multi-platform ecosystem spanning web and mobile, while driving infrastructure migration from virtual servers to AWS cloud.

Built and maintained backend systems for a high-traffic media platform serving ~30M monthly active users at ~3K requests/sec, leveraging PHP (Slim Framework) and Rust for performance-critical workloads. Designed and optimised RESTful APIs and microservices; engineered video processing pipelines covering encoding, storage, and global content delivery via CDN. Integrated AWS services (S3, DynamoDB, Redis) to ensure low-latency data access and scalable media storage, improving platform reliability under high-load production conditions.

Developed and maintained features for a cloud-based inspection and asset management platform serving industrial sectors, built on CakePHP and Vanilla JavaScript. Contributed to a major system refactor, migrating the application to Laravel and Vue.js to improve maintainability and scalability, alongside backend API optimisation and AWS-based deployment.
