ABOUT ME

Principal software engineer in DevOps and Architecture. Expertise in Ruby on Rails, .NET, React, Node.js. DevOps engineer.

I'm a Senior DevOps Engineer and Architect with over 15 years of experience in cloud transformations and developer platform engineering. I've led multiple enterprise-scale AWS migrations.

My technical expertise centers on Kubernetes orchestration, serverless architectures, and Infrastructure as Code. With my strong programming background, I'm able to deliver comprehensive end-to-end solutions rather than just infrastructure management.

I enjoy technical challenges and helping organizations modernize their approach to infrastructure and the cloud overall.

Lead the adoption of DevOps at my current company. Implemented practices such as immutable infrastructure, configuration as code, blue/green deployments, alerting and others. I do a lot of DevOps work daily, so I act as a part-time DevOps engineer at my day job.

Roberto is always nice and knowledgeable. I've been getting tutored by him for the past few months regarding devops, and he's been very understanding even when I've been late to some of the sessions. Helped me get through the AWS maze in minutes.

Roberto is very concise and helpful when you're trying to make tech decisions for your company. Thanks

Roberto helped me plan out the architecture of an app I'm getting ready to build. And may I say, that without his advising, I could've and most likely would've spent countless hours building the app with the wrong stack, and in a highly inefficient manner. Will absolutely be coming back with more needed expertise here shortly! Highly recommend!

I've been writing a Rails app for about a year now, on and off. Ran into a couple of issues and was at a dead end, Roberto stepped in and helped me see how to resolve my issues and move forward. Taught me some new things. Would work with Roberto again!

Responsible for major technical decisions in client engagements. Oversee design and implementation of DevOps solutions for clients, ensuring quality and client‑fit, and results in a short timeframe.

• Successfully executed multiple migrations to AWS EKS from EC2 instances, resulting in a significant increase in deployment frequency while reducing change failure rate. Also migrated clients from non‑managed K8s distributions such as Kops to EKS.

• Led the adoption of the AWS CDK for infrastructure as code. Designed a shared CDK library of reusable infrastructure components using type‑script, enabling the development team to setup their own infrastructure while also meeting compliance requirements. Developer productivity was increased by 50% as they no longer had to rely on the DevOps team for new infra.

• Redesigned the CI architecture for a large monorepo of over 90 applications. Reduced build times by 80% with the custom built solution, which improved the developer experience and productivity.

• Designed and built a Kubernetes operator in Golang to streamline the deployment of more than 80 white‑labeled applications through ArgoCD, significaly reducing effort required to deploy new versions and onboard new clients.

• Led the adoption of GitOps practices for various clients, using FluxCD and ArgoCD. Designed their GitOps workflow for improved developer experience, enhancing collaboration and visibility for all teams in the organizations.
