Rafael U.

I’m a Platform & DevOps Engineer specializing in building scalable, resilient infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Over the past decade I’ve designed, deployed, and automated systems using Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, AKS, DOKS), Terraform/Terragrunt, Ansible, and CI/CD pipelines with Azure DevOps, GitHub, GitLab, and Spinnaker.

My work spans from cloud migrations and infrastructure as code to observability (New Relic, CloudWatch, Elasticsearch) and incident response (PagerDuty). I’ve led teams through complex transitions — from 10DLC compliance projects to containerizing legacy systems — while mentoring engineers and documenting processes to make knowledge stick.

I thrive at the intersection of reliability and speed: improving deployment velocity, uptime, and security posture without sacrificing stability. Whether it’s automating cloud infrastructure, scaling Kubernetes clusters, or reducing MTTR with smarter monitoring, my focus is always on enabling teams to deliver with confidence.
