About Andre

I'm an infrastructure and platform engineer who believes clicking buttons is optional but automating them is mandatory.

I design, build, and operate cloud-native platforms that let engineering teams ship faster without losing sleep over reliability. My sweet spot is the intersection of cloud architecture (AWS, Azure, GCP), Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines that actually work.

I'm not a software developer. I don't write APIs or frontend code. But I will build the platform that makes your developers' lives easier, your deployments boring, and your infrastructure scalable without drama.

What I bring:

10+ years making infrastructure reliable, repeatable, and self-service

Deep Kubernetes and container networking experience (certifications? no. production scars? yes)

Automation-first mindset: Python, Bash, PowerShell when needed

Pragmatism: I solve the problem you have, not the one you don't

Hybrid flexibility only if the office is worth the commute (Barcelona Metro Area counts)

I'm looking for permanent roles where I can lead, build, and automate—without being asked to code operators or pretend I'm an AI specialist.

Let's talk if you need a platform engineer who ships, mentors, and goes home on time.
