👋 Hi, I’m Rich Vigorito

Staff Software Architect & Lead Backend Engineer in Portland, OR.
I design and deliver reliable, secure, event-driven backend systems — from load balancer to database.


🧠 About Me

I’ve spent 20+ years building systems from the ground up:

  • Architected full backend stacks: HAProxy, nginx, Linux, MySQL, Redis, REST APIs, Event Driven Systems
  • Designed resilient data models, security layers, caching schemes, scaling patterns, observable infrastructure
  • Led teams, mentored devs, and cultivated strong documentation and onboarding
  • Love writing tools, games, and utilities to strengthen dev team culture
  • Partner closely with IT, product owners, stakeholders, and execs to deliver aligned outcomes
  • Most recent company, an early stage startup, brought product to market.

Industry domains I’ve worked in:

  • SupplyStream – drop shipping, logistics, warehouse packaging supplies, pricing mgmt, b2b & b2c e-commerce
  • Oregon Catholic Press – book and music publishing, royalties mgmt, lit planning apps, b2b & b2c e-commerce
  • Inspiredware – student/teacher scheduling and location software

All involved deep system integrations and cross-team collaboration.

Personal projects I'm currently leaning into Python, Go, and language tech (ASR/NLP)

👋 Hi, I’m Rich Vigorito

Staff Software Architect & Lead Backend Engineer in Portland, OR.
I design and deliver reliable, secure, event-driven backend systems — from load balancer to database.


🧠 About Me

I’ve spent 20+ years building systems from the ground up:

  • Architected full backend stacks: HAProxy, nginx, Linux, MySQL, Redis, REST APIs, Event Driven Systems
  • Designed resilient data models, security layers, caching schemes, scaling patterns, observable infrastructure
  • Led teams, mentored devs, and cultivated strong documentation and onboarding
  • Love writing tools, games, and utilities to strengthen dev team culture
  • Partner closely with IT, product owners, stakeholders, and execs to deliver aligned outcomes
  • Most recent company, an early stage startup, brought product to market.

Industry domains I’ve worked in:

  • SupplyStream – drop shipping, logistics, warehouse packaging supplies, pricing mgmt, b2b & b2c e-commerce
  • Oregon Catholic Press – book and music publishing, royalties mgmt, lit planning apps, b2b & b2c e-commerce
  • Inspiredware – student/teacher scheduling and location software

All involved deep system integrations and cross-team collaboration.
