About

Professional summary

I am a Senior SRE and Engineering Manager with more than 25 years of experience building, operating, and modernizing critical infrastructure, cloud platforms, and data systems.

I specialize in cloud-native engineering, multi-cloud architecture, FinOps, Database Reliability Engineering, and high-availability environments across Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes.

I lead engineering teams through complex modernization initiatives, combining technical strategy, mentoring, operational excellence, and automation to improve reliability, security, and delivery velocity.

My experience includes architecting stateful platforms with Oracle, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, MongoDB, Redis, and Kafka-based data pipelines. I have delivered major migrations, improved query performance, and built resilient database clusters for mission-critical workloads.

I build observability-driven cultures using monitoring, metrics, alerting, incident management, and SLO practices. I also develop CI/CD and infrastructure automation solutions that reduce toil and accelerate reliable delivery.

I am available immediately for remote roles and relocation to Europe. I am a Brazilian passport holder and eligible for an EU Blue Card.
