I build systems
that help teams
move faster.
I’m Julio Aguilar, a software engineering leader working at the intersection of platform architecture, developer experience, and AI-assisted engineering.
01 / SELECTED WORK
Engineering at scale.
Autodesk
Modernizing a legacy frontend across teams
Helped define a shared microfrontend approach across teams, migrating legacy Backbone experiences to React while owning the build, maintenance, deployment, and CI/CD pipelines for 5+ microfrontends.
EPAM client
Modernizing the development loop for legacy React apps
Proposed moving legacy React applications from react-scripts to Vite after identifying slow startup and unreliable hot reloading as recurring development bottlenecks.
EPAM client
Using agentic workflows to unblock a legacy migration
Migrated the first repository from react-scripts to Vite in one day using Copilot, reusable agent skills, tests, and parallel execution of independent tasks after an earlier migration attempt had stalled.
EPAM client
Connecting code review to acceptance criteria
Built a VS Code extension using Copilot agents and skills to review feature-branch changes against Jira acceptance criteria and give developers actionable feedback tied to specific lines of code.
IMPACT IN NUMBERS
Results matter more than technology lists.
reduction in average CI build time at Autodesk
microfrontends owned at Autodesk
observed page-load time at Autodesk
reduction in dev-server startup time at EPAM
02 / OPEN SOURCE & PRODUCTS
Still building.
I enjoy the full loop: finding a problem, designing a useful abstraction, shipping it, and learning from real-world constraints.
04 / ABOUT
Engineering is a team sport.
I’ve spent over a decade building customer-facing products and the platforms behind them. My strongest work happens where technical strategy meets hands-on engineering and cross-team alignment.
At Autodesk, I progressed from Software Engineer IV to Lead Software Engineer, helping define a shared microfrontend architecture across teams while owning more than five microfrontends and their delivery pipelines. At EPAM, I work as a Lead Software Engineer, modernizing legacy React tooling and building agentic workflows to support migrations.
I’m interested in Lead, Staff, and Principal engineering roles, as well as engineering management opportunities where I can make complex systems simpler, raise engineering quality, and help teams ship confidently.
