Developer Experience @ BTG Pactual · Brazil · remote
Over ten years in infrastructure and reliability. I started out administering servers and Zabbix monitoring and worked my way to Developer Experience, through DevOps and SRE along the way.
At Globo I helped prepare and hold up the load of events like the Elections, Big Brother Brasil and the World Cup — chaos engineering with Gremlin, SLIs/SLOs and delivery automation. Then came Jusbrasil and, now, Developer Experience at BTG Pactual.
I co-founded NuvemAgil (a cloud native consultancy), am a Linkerd Ambassador, a CNCF meetup organizer and a speaker (TDC, Cloud Summit Cerrado). I write on Think Cloud Native about what I learn in production.
Tools I've been working with:
- Kubernetes
- Kustomize
- Prometheus
- Grafana
- OpenTelemetry
- Linkerd
- Terraform
- Google Cloud
- AWS
- GitLab CI
- Gremlin
- Python / Shell
