I build reliable cloud operations, safe releases, and resilient database platforms.
MexicoWhat I'm looking for
I've scaled AWS EC2 platforms from 18K to 160K users, validated to 550K, using redundant architecture, custom auto-scaling, HAProxy, and Munin monitoring at Ingeniat.
Across Oracle MySQL, EMC, and Cars.com, I've validated replication failover, supported audit readiness, and run zero-downtime releases with tested rollback, incident triage, and root-cause analysis.
