Hello, I\u2019m Ferrah Orosco…<\/span> <\/span>and I believe in producing high-quality work that fuels the engagement between brands, stakeholders and their audience. My passion is design, technology, R&D and systems architecture.<\/span><\/p>\n

More About Me<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

I\u2019m a <\/span>Systems Architect<\/strong> and <\/span>Software Developer<\/strong> with a <\/span>BSc (Hons) in Games Design and Development<\/strong>, and a background in commercial, bespoke, and enterprise-level software development. My career spans applications development, networking, and systems architecture, with deep experience in client-facing roles and delivering scalable, production-ready solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve led transformation projects across industries, including the migration of a localized, bare-metal WiFi R&D prototype into a scalable, cloud-native architecture for an automated warehouse vehicle solution built on CAN bus and electrification engineering. The goal was to create a deployable suite of Azure resources that could support real-time telemetry and control across a fleet of autonomous vehicles. The solution integrated Azure IoT Hub, Device Provisioning Service, and MQTT protocols to enable secure device communication and orchestration. I implemented CI\/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps to deploy containerized workloads to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure App Services, and Azure Container Registry (ACR). By leveraging diverse data sources, the system optimized routing and operational efficiency\u2014laying a robust foundation for future AI-driven enhancements<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m deeply passionate about the evolving landscape of AI and its transformative potential across industries. I actively explore and embed AI workflows into solutions where appropriate\u2014leveraging tools like VSCode, Azure Machine Learning, and emerging protocols such as Model Context Protocol (MCP) to orchestrate intelligent, context-aware systems. My interests span the full spectrum of AI innovation, from working with large language models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures to experimenting with Generative and Agentic AI for dynamic, adaptive applications. Whether integrating AI into cloud-native platforms or designing systems that learn and evolve, I\u2019m driven by the challenge of creating solutions that are technically robust, strategically aligned, and future-ready.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

My technical toolkit includes strong C++\/C#, MFC, and .NET skills, with experience in N-Tier development and integrating legacy systems with modern frameworks. I\u2019ve developed SaaS platforms across pharmaceutical ecosystems such as Veeva, Salesforce, Cegedim, Agnitio, Tridion, and Sitecore, and contributed to VLE and blended learning environments for universities via JANET infrastructure and CMS platforms like Blackboard and Immediacy.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

As a web developer, I\u2019ve delivered dynamic Web 2.0 and 3.0 experiences using JavaScript frameworks including Node, NPM, and jQuery, and rapidly deployed maintainable WordPress sites. I also have experience with Apple development and App Store deployment for iOS devices.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I bring a blend of R&D, UI design, code refactoring, and client-server expertise to every project\u2014designing and developing both single-user and networked systems with precision and creativity.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Frameworks and Eco Systems<\/span>\u00a0I have experience working in systems architectures; with various 1st and 3rd party API’s, SDK’s, Data Sources and CMS (Content Managed Systems). These are inherently dependant on the client or company I am working for. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Operating Systems<\/span>\u00a0that I have worked with depends on the client or company’s adopted architectures. I am happy in Windows, Mac OS X or mixed systems architectures. My development machine setups I prefer is dual booted Apple Mac systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Languages<\/span>\u00a0I have experience with both Structured and Agile development methodologies. Wether it’s for single-user or multi-user developments the chosen language depends on the best fit for the intended client consumption, (See my<\/span> <\/span>Resume<\/a> <\/span>for a summarized list). <\/span><\/p>\n

Desktop and Mobile Developments<\/span> <\/span>I have managed projects \/ teams to develop various iPad, iPhone and Android apps. I usually get involved in the design and full development life cycle, whether that is through R&D, proof of concept or coding and delivery. I am experienced with Adobe Creative Suite, 3D Modelling packages and Video Editing Suites. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I’ve developed both single user and multiuser software \/ apps on 3 tier and N-tier enterprise architectures. These span games development, military apps in conjunction with Lockheed Martin and SAIC. I’ve also worked on various web and mobile apps utilising CMS’s or SaaS frameworks with 1st and 3rd Party API’s.
