@robertodevesafernnde
I build Kubernetes-based internal developer platforms that reduce cloud costs and improve delivery reliability.
What I'm looking for
At Scilife, I’m modernizing infrastructure from a PHP monolith toward a scalable cloud-native Kubernetes platform. I reduced cloud spend by 50% in nine months, brought nearly all cloud resources under version control with Terraform/OpenTofu, and improved deployment reliability through CI/CD and trunk-based development.
Previously at Empathy.co, I led the evolution of a Kubernetes-based Internal Developer Platform and helped establish the Platform Engineering Team as the company grew beyond 100 engineers. I migrated workloads from ECS to EKS, enabled self-service application delivery with GitOps, and reduced infrastructure costs by 40% through Karpenter.
I bring more than eight years of experience across DevOps, SRE, cloud infrastructure, observability, security governance, and Infrastructure as Code. I enjoy continuous improvement, cost optimization, developer experience, and helping teams take full ownership of their services.
