Joan Méndez Pool

I design systems with a long-term perspective — prioritizing clarity, observability, and operational resilience over short-term gains.

I believe real expertise in engineering is not defined by years of experience or novelty, but by the systems that continue to perform, adapt, and remain understandable over time.

About Me

Currently leading technical architecture at AISG, aligning backend, infrastructure, data, and UI layers to support scalable airline ground operations under IATA Standard Ground Handling Agreements.

I'm an Organizational Intelligence and Data Engineer focused on end-to-end systems, spanning backend and frontend development, cloud automation, and infrastructure-as-code on AWS.

My background in GNU/Linux and command-line environments strongly influences how I approach system design — pragmatic, observable, and built to scale from day one. I've worked across environments where reliability, maintainability, and clear ownership are essential, shaping solutions that can be operated and evolved over time.

Today, my work centers on building and maintaining platforms that connect data, automation, and people through reliable architecture, with a strong emphasis on clear documentation, reusable code, and operational efficiency.

Edition Year

2024

JanuaryPlatform Architecture

Established the core Operations API foundation

Designed and implemented a modular FastAPI backend integrated with MSSQL on AWS RDS, Cognito-IDP authentication, and core operational entities. The architecture established the foundation for AISG’s operational systems and enabled future extension using DynamoDB and S3 for document storage, references, and auxiliary data.

MarchPlatform Architecture

Introduced monitoring and operational state APIs

Expanded backend services with monitoring endpoints, normalized schemas, and operational state abstractions, enabling real-time visibility and lifecycle tracking across stations.

AprilPlatform Architecture

Adopted automated testing and CI pipelines

Integrated pytest, Postman collections, and GitHub Actions workflows, transforming backend services into test-validated, continuously integrated systems with reproducible deployments.

JulyData Engineering

Launched the Operations Timesheets Platform

Delivered the first analytics platform for operational timesheets, rankings, and summaries, combining optimized MSSQL queries with Python-based data transformations and visualizations, exposed through an authenticated Streamlit application.

AugustData Engineering

Automated flight data synchronization using a serverless architecture

Implemented the Flight Sync Lambda using the Serverless Framework and GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines, enabling autonomous, multi-environment synchronization of flight data across AISG systems.

OctoberInfrastructure

Provisioned Cognito user pools using Infrastructure as Code

Created CloudFormation templates and Bash automation to replicate and manage Cognito user pools, automate bulk user migration, overcome AWS console limitations, and apply AISG branding to the Cognito Hosted UI.
