THE PROBLEMS I SOLVE
When infrastructure becomes a business problem.
At scale, architecture decisions directly affect performance, reliability, engineering velocity and cost. I help technology leaders understand those trade-offs, make the right architectural decisions, and build systems and teams capable of operating globally.
01
SCALE
Design systems capable of handling global traffic, rapid growth and unpredictable demand.
02
PERFORMANCE
Improve latency, caching efficiency, traffic management and overall system performance.
03
COST
Identify architectural and operational opportunities to reduce infrastructure costs without compromising reliability.
EXPERTISE
Deep experience where distributed systems meet the edge.
01 / ───
CDN & Edge Architecture
Design and evaluate CDN and edge architectures using technologies including Varnish, Fastly and AWS.
02 / ───
Distributed Caching
Caching strategy, cache architecture, invalidation, traffic patterns, origin protection and performance.
03 / ───
Performance Engineering
Identify bottlenecks and optimize systems for latency, throughput, resilience and efficiency.
04 / ───
Global Scale
Architect infrastructure for large and unpredictable traffic volumes across geographically distributed environments.
05 / ───
Technology Strategy
Translate complex infrastructure problems into practical architectural decisions and technical roadmaps.
06 / ───
Engineering Leadership
Build technology teams from scratch, establish technical direction and create organizations capable of operating at scale.
SELECTED IMPACT
Architecture should create measurable business impact.
15+
YEARS
Experience across distributed systems, caching, CDN and infrastructure.
40%
YEAR-ON-YEAR
COGS improvement achieved in a previous environment through infrastructure and architectural optimization.
GLOBAL
SCALE
Technology teams and distributed infrastructure designed to operate globally.
My work has combined technical architecture with business outcomes — from reducing infrastructure costs and improving system performance to building teams and platforms capable of operating at global scale.
WHEN THE TRAFFIC SPIKES
Some systems don’t get a second chance.
I’ve worked on infrastructure supporting Super Bowl-scale and major sporting events, where traffic spikes, latency, reliability and operational readiness become business-critical. The architecture has to work when millions of users arrive at once.

Scale is easy to discuss. Operating at scale is different.
TECHNOLOGY LEADERSHIP
Architecture is only half the problem. Teams build and operate it.
I have built technology teams from scratch and helped grow engineering organizations capable of supporting globally distributed infrastructure.
BUILD
Hiring, team structure and technical foundations.
LEAD
Technical direction, architectural decision-making and cross-functional alignment.
SCALE
Processes and engineering practices that continue to work as systems and organizations grow.
HOW I WORK
No architecture theatre. Just clear technical decisions.
01 ─────
UNDERSTAND
Understand the business, system constraints, traffic patterns and operational reality.
02 ─────
DIAGNOSE
Identify architectural bottlenecks, unnecessary complexity, performance issues and cost drivers.
03 ─────
DESIGN
Develop practical architectures and technical strategies that balance performance, reliability and cost.
04 ─────
DELIVER
Work with engineering teams to turn architecture into measurable outcomes.
ARIANNA AONDIO
Solutions Architect
I’m a technology leader with 15+ years of experience working with distributed systems, caching and CDN infrastructure.
My background includes Varnish Software and Amazon Alexa, as well as hands-on experience with technologies such as Varnish, Fastly and AWS.
I’ve architected distributed CDN systems, built technology teams from the ground up, and worked on infrastructure supporting major global events.
My focus is where complex technical systems, scale and business outcomes intersect.
HOW I CAN HELP
Bring senior infrastructure expertise to the problems that matter.
01
ARCHITECTURE REVIEW
Independent review of CDN, caching, edge and distributed-system architecture.
02
PERFORMANCE & SCALE
Identify bottlenecks and design improvements for latency, throughput and scalability.
03
COST OPTIMIZATION
Analyze infrastructure architecture and identify opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce COGS.
04
TECHNICAL ADVISORY
Senior technical guidance for CTOs, engineering leaders and technology organizations navigating complex infrastructure decisions.
