Infrastructure Engineer
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
UTC-3
I make production boring.
Reliable, observable and cheaper to run.
Seventeen years in infrastructure, six of them running Kubernetes in production on EKS, AKS and GKE — from a 30-cluster global fleet to GitOps delivery with Argo CD, Flux and Helm charts written in-house.
Clients
Companies whose infrastructure I have worked on. Several were delivered through Caylent, Toptal or Curotec — each case study names the contract.
