Gerardo González
@gerardogonzlez
Site Reliability Engineer and backend specialist delivering high-availability systems and faster operations through SLOs and automation.
What I'm looking for
I’m a highly technical Software & Reliability Engineer with 4+ years of professional experience specializing in high-concurrency distributed systems, backend infrastructure, and production operations. I’ve re-engineered national-scale data pipelines for 33M+ users, using load-balanced clusters to achieve high availability and zero downtime during peak windows.
I focus on reliability engineering fundamentals—optimizing MTTR, defining actionable SLOs/SLIs, and reducing operational toil through AI-assisted development. From developing asynchronous ingestion that cut processing latency from days to seconds to handling deployments and incident response using logs and metrics, I turn operational insights into durable improvements. I also refactored legacy FastAPI and PostgreSQL infrastructure, reducing complexity by 35% and strengthening quality with rigorous unit and integration testing.
