Who is Victor García?

Victor García (vikgmdev) is a self-taught infrastructure operator and AI-platform builder with 10+ years shipping production systems. Senior Backend / DevOps at Range Security. Personal side project: ERA (Cosmobiology AI on Google Play) and Forgetty (GTK4 Rust terminal, ~38K LOC / 159 commits in 24 days), under Totem Labs Forge, his LLC.

What is Totem Labs Forge?

Totem Labs Forge is Victor's personal LLC, formed in 2025 to hold ERA and his other personal projects. ERA is built with a custom multi-agent harness (Plan → Build → QA with mandatory audits) that lets a solo operator hit team-level throughput. Current projects: ERA (Cosmobiology AI on Google Play since April 2026) and Forgetty (GTK4 Rust terminal emulator, MIT, on GitHub).

What AI / LLM experience does Victor have?

Three-tier AI stack for ERA: DeepSeek (runtime) + OpenAI (translation) + offline Claude Opus via local CLI (zero recurring cost). Daily driver of a multi-agent Forge harness (Plan → Build → QA subagents with mandatory audits).

What roles is Victor open to?

Senior / Staff Platform Engineer, DevOps / SRE, AI Platform Engineer, or Founding Engineer roles (full-time, remote-friendly across US/EU/LATAM).

Where is Victor based?

Currently in El Tiemblo, Ávila, Spain. Relocating to Mérida, Mexico by October 2026. Timezone-flexible for remote collaboration with US and European teams. Reach him at vikgm.dev@gmail.com.

Live nowERACosmobiology AI

Get it onGoogle Play

NestJS, Node, TypeScript and GraphQL at the root. Years of bare-metal infrastructure on top: Kubernetes, Ansible, Elasticsearch, Postgres and Redis. Now deep on AI, with production MCP servers and a multi-agent harness.

Because I know how systems work at the byte level,

I can let AI do the drudge typing while I own the architecture.

Evidence beats demos.

My path What I ship Contact

Work Experience

Two parallel tracks: Senior BE/DevOps + side project experiments. I know how systems work at a low level, so AI handles the drudge work while I own the architecture.

Kubernetes — production grade

Self-hosted clusters on bare metal. Reproducible bootstrap scripts, GitOps deploys, and secrets kept out of Git.

PostgreSQL — HA + real DR

High availability with streaming replication. Off-site backups with automated restore testing, so DR is verified instead of assumed.

Elasticsearch — multi-cluster, production

Multi-cluster deployments carrying live traffic, with response verification baked into every upgrade and schema change.

Redis — Cluster + hardened

Cluster plus dedicated per-service instances. Hardened access, memory and persistence policies tuned per workload, metrics and alerting wired in.

NestJS Migrations & Architecture

Migrations to NestJS from Express, Koa and monolithic TypeScript backends. Module boundaries, dependency injection, GraphQL, REST and MCP resolvers, testing and CI/CD.

MCP & AI Platforms

Production MCP servers and a multi-agent harness. Plan, then Build with mandatory audit passes, then human QA.

Claude Code Power User · Forge Harness

Solo Operator · Team-Level Throughput

My daily workflow is a multi-agent harness. Every feature goes through Plan, then Build with mandatory audit passes, then human QA. Per-task git worktrees let me run several features in parallel.

›Plan, Build and QA run as isolated subagents in per-task git worktrees
›Every Build pass runs simplify, audit-rust and audit-security before QA sees it
›An overnight mode completes tasks unattended and queues QA for the morning
