About Manny Aguilar

I’m a Solution Architect / Technical Lead with over a decade in IT - combining a production-operations foundation with enterprise software delivery across high-compliance systems, backend services, batch processing, and web applications.I specialize in C#, ASP.NET, SQL Server, and Angular, with a strong focus on translating complex business and regulatory requirements into reliable, scalable, and maintainable systems. Much of my work centers on modernizing legacy platforms while minimizing risk and maintaining production stability.Representative impact includes:• Designing batch and processing frameworks that generated $3–4M in monthly revenue• Enhancing revenue-critical workflows contributing $1.2M+ per month• Building internal tools that reduced operational processing time by ~85%• Leading and contributing to multi-system modernization efforts in regulated environmentsI’m known for approaching problems with a systems mindset — balancing correctness, performance, and long-term maintainability — and for collaborating closely with engineers, product owners, and stakeholders to deliver solutions that hold up in real-world enterprise conditions.I do my best work in environments where scale, compliance, and architectural clarity matter, and where thoughtful technical decisions make a measurable business impact. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, continuous learning, and building systems that improve how people work.
