Hello, I am Fernando Nieves

Full-Stack Product Engineer who builds, ships, and scales real products.

I build robust, high-traffic web applications with Next.js 15, React 19, TypeScript, Python/Django, and PostgreSQL. As sole founder, I architected and scaled Calendario KOI — the community match schedule hub for Movistar KOI Esports (Ibai Llanos' team) — reaching +600 monthly active users and migrating it from serverless to dedicated Oracle Cloud infrastructure to handle live match day spikes.

Architecture Behind This Match Day:
Traffic surges during LEC/VCT match days when Ibai goes live, requiring Redis caching and dedicated PostgreSQL connection pooling.
01. Schedule Ingest

Automated ingestion pipeline scraping official Riot Games & LVP match schedules with cron jobs.

02. FCM Match Alerts

Firebase Cloud Messaging service worker daemon dispatching background push alerts across desktop and mobile PWA.

03. Google Calendar

Two-way Google Calendar API integration allowing fans to add KOI fixtures directly to their personal calendars.

04. OCI Dedicated Cloud

Oracle Cloud (OCI) Linux VM hosting Docker Compose, Nginx reverse proxy with Brotli, and persistent PostgreSQL.

System Evolution

From Serverless to Cloud Dedicated

Handling live match day traffic surges without cold starts or database saturation.

Scaled Production (+600 Active Users)

Phase 2: High-Concurrency Dedicated Cloud

Engineered to withstand live Ibai stream traffic surges with zero cold starts.

When active monthly users surged past 600 during competitive splits, I migrated the backend to an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) dedicated Linux instance. Implemented Docker containerization, self-hosted PostgreSQL with persistent volume mounts, Nginx reverse proxy with Brotli compression, and Redis caching for match schedules.

Engineering Trade-Offs & Outcomes:
Eliminated edge cold starts completely (0ms penalty)
Unlimited persistent connection pool via pgBouncer
Dedicated FCM background daemon sending alerts 15m before matches
Automated Git CI/CD deployment pipelines with Docker Compose
API Cold Start
<85ms constant response times with 0 cold starts
Infrastructure Cost
45% reduction in compute overhead via OCI Always Free compute
DEPLOYMENT TOPOLOGYProduction (Active)

02
Nginx Reverse Proxy

SSL termination, gzip/brotli compression, rate limiting.

04
Dedicated PostgreSQL + Prisma

Fine-tuned database indices, automated daily backups.

05
Firebase Cloud Messaging

Cross-platform background push notifications for reminders.

99.8% delivery

Architectural Insight: Moving to an OCI dedicated instance resolved database pool saturation, provided persistent Docker volumes for PostgreSQL, and allowed persistent worker processes for real-time push dispatch.

Key Technical Decisions

Testing & Reliability

Automated Vitest Test Suite

Engineered unit and integration tests covering match schedule parsing, timezone boundary conversions (Spain CEST vs LATAM), and FCM token rotation.

Production Verified
PWA Architecture

Push Notifications via FCM

Implemented service worker background sync with Firebase Cloud Messaging to notify fans 15 minutes before KOI matches go live.

Production Verified
APIs & Integration

Google Calendar API Sync

Two-way OAuth2 synchronization allowing supporters to export the full season fixture list to their personal Google Calendar.
