What I'm looking for

I seek senior SRE or infrastructure roles focused on cloud-native architectures, automation, observability, cost optimization, and remote collaboration.

I am a Senior Site Reliability / Infrastructure Engineer with over 10 years operating large-scale distributed systems and more than 8 years working fully remotely with US-based teams. I focus on reliability engineering, cloud infrastructure (primarily AWS), and automation to reduce toil and improve service availability.

At PeerNova, I optimized AWS costs by 30%, reduced multi-component deployment time from four hours to 20 minutes, and implemented observability practices that improved MTTR and production visibility. I architected CloudFormation-based Marketplace deployments to streamline enterprise onboarding.

Previously at Yahoo! I managed global infrastructure supporting 50k+ RPS, led postmortems and remediation plans for complex incidents, and drove initiatives that cut LATAM page load times by 20%. I have a strong background in IaC (Terraform, CloudFormation), CI/CD, Kubernetes, and monitoring tooling.

I hold MSc and BSc degrees in Computer Science from the University of São Paulo and speak Portuguese natively, with proficient English and basic Spanish. I bring a pragmatic, metrics-driven approach to reliability, automation, and scalable cloud architecture.
