I am a Software Engineer with over four years of experience building telecom-grade, containerized OpenStack platforms for distributed cloud and edge deployments. My primary focus is StarlingX and OpenStack running on Kubernetes, with hands-on experience spanning cloud-native infrastructure, Linux distributions, storage, networking, and automation.
I contribute actively to upstream open-source projects and have had more than 40 changes merged on OpenDev. My contributions include features, bug fixes, release upgrades, packaging improvements, build-system fixes, and deployment automation across StarlingX, OpenStack Armada applications, OpenStack Helm, and Ansible playbooks.
I work extensively with Python, Linux, Debian packaging, Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, Ceph, NetApp storage, and OpenStack services such as Nova, Cinder, Glance, Neutron, Keystone, Heat, and Placement. I am comfortable troubleshooting production issues across distributed systems, from service configuration and package dependencies to storage backends and network components.
In my current role, I have delivered customer-impacting capabilities including Ceph-backed Nova ephemeral storage, configurable Glance storage backend selection, distributed-cloud application lifecycle safeguards, and major OpenStack package and image upgrades. I prioritize maintainable upstream solutions, validating changes through builds, automated checks, and lab environments.
Earlier in my career, I developed carrier-grade C firmware for GPON Optical Line Terminal devices and worked on an industrial Digital Twin optimization platform for steel production scheduling. This background gives me experience from embedded Linux and telecom systems through to cloud-native infrastructure and large-scale operational optimization.
I am a native Portuguese speaker with professional English proficiency and elementary Spanish. I am based in Recife, Brazil, and have experience working remotely with distributed engineering teams.
