## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to build reliable, scalable cloud-native platforms where I can improve observability, automation, security, and software delivery across engineering teams.
```

## About

```text
At Happening, I redesigned observability for dozens of product teams, building a VictoriaMetrics, OpenTelemetry, and Loki platform that ingests over 1TB of metrics and logs daily while reducing infrastructure costs by 20%.

I've built and operated cloud-native platforms across Happening, Power Home Remodeling, Parfin, BTG Pactual, and Stone Pagamentos. My work spans Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, GitOps, Golang, .NET, CI/CD, incident response, and multi-cluster observability; it has supported banking, PIX payments, crypto assets, and high-throughput internal platforms.

I enjoy turning operational complexity into reusable tooling, standards, and automation—from Terraform modules and telemetry libraries to Golang CLIs and centralized logging platforms. I also bring a security background in secure development, penetration testing, vulnerability analysis, and DevSecOps practices.
```
