Hey folks,
I’m a Senior SRE / DevOps Engineer with strong hands-on experience in multi-cloud environments, Terraform-driven infrastructure (and Terragrunt!, and production-grade reliability work. I’m currently open to contract or part-time remote opportunities at **$30 USD/hour**. I would also love an opportunity to bail out of Brazil with the family and I would *jump on the first flight out of this country if possible*.
# 🔧 What I Bring
* Infrastructure as Code with **Terraform & Terragrunt**
* **AWS** (EKS, EC2, IAM, Security Groups, CloudFront, Route53, CloudWatch)
* CI/CD pipelines (**Azure DevOps**, **GitHub Actions**, **GitLab**)
* **Kubernetes** (Helm, CRDs, workload migrations)
* Observability (**CloudWatch**, New Relic, log analysis, cardinality optimization)
* Linux & Windows hybrid environments
* Automation (Shell, Python, Ansible, PowerShell)
* Incident response & production firefighting (on-call hardened)
* Compliance and regulatory adoption (**proven experience with 10DLC compliance**)
# 📈 Real Impact
* Migrated legacy workloads to EKS improving reliability & deploy velocity with Azure DevOps
* Built internal observability tooling that reduced support escalation
* Led compliance transitions with **zero downtime during 10DLC deadline**
* Reduced manual deployment effort via CI/CD automation permitting juniors could do it safely
# 🧠 What I Enjoy Working On
* Reliability engineering
* Infrastructure cost optimization
* Log/metrics hygiene (preventing cardinality explosions before they hurt)
* Automation that actually removes toil
* Cleaning up messy infra and making it predictable (terragrunt is my highschool sweetheart
* Technical documentation writing and reverse engineering to build manuals
I’m comfortable jumping into existing systems, stabilizing them, and leaving them better than I found them.
