Camilo Vanegas
@camilovanegas
I build and operate resilient Kubernetes, OpenShift, and AWS platforms for large-scale telecom and enterprise environments.
ColombiaWhat I'm looking for
I've supported Nokia Container Services for T-Mobile US, deploying telco-grade Kubernetes and CBIS/OpenStack clusters end to end and reducing installation time by 40% through automation.
For AT&T México, I led a zero-disruption OpenShift 4.14 to 4.16 migration, integrated Pure Storage CSI, and introduced MCP-based AI agents and LLM workflows for Kubernetes troubleshooting. I also represented the engineering team at KubeCon North America while evaluating agentic AI architectures for projects in Mexico and Canada.
Across Immfly, Aditi Consulting, IDEMIA, DB-System, Experian, and Claro, I've delivered CI/CD automation, cloud operations, disaster recovery, storage, Linux/Unix administration, and production support for critical services. My work has improved server setup time from eight hours to two, sustained 99.9% availability, and supported systems serving more than 19 million citizens.
I'm a CKA-certified Systems Engineer who enjoys solving operational problems with Kubernetes, OpenShift, AWS, Ansible, Helm, GitOps, Infrastructure as Code, observability, and DevSecOps practices.
