About

Cyrus Espiritu

I'm a Senior Full-Stack & Systems Engineer and Principal Systems Architect based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. I architect resilient distributed systems, enterprise multi-tenant platforms, and developer tooling — bridging deep systems engineering in Rust with production TypeScript, Next.js, and applied AI infrastructure.

I care about building low-latency, scalable software with strict data integrity: type-safe gRPC data contracts, deterministic ingestion pipelines, and multi-tenant database isolation. I'm the founder of StaffSuite (B2B payroll SaaS) and creator of open-source systems including Open-Labor-PH and ZeroDrop.

How I work

15+ years across systems architecture, distributed backend engineering, and technical leadership. Over that time I've taken complex systems from 0-to-1, resolved critical performance bottlenecks, and executed zero-downtime legacy migrations.

That architectural range defines my approach: equally comfortable designing distributed consensus models and event loops in Rust as I am modeling complex relational schemas in PostgreSQL or leading engineering pods through trunk-based delivery pipelines.
