## about

I started in 2011 in the IT core of a federal university in Brazil, building and running the platforms the institution depends on. The next decade was public-sector infrastructure: Kubernetes clusters, a VMware fleet, firewalls and VPNs, and the monitoring that catches problems before people do. In 2022 I moved to Lisbon to do DevOps for a communications-compliance platform used by regulated banks — infrastructure where every change has to survive an audit.

## highlights

k8s in government

Kubernetes inside government

Deployed Kubernetes clusters with Rancher and CI/CD pipelines at a Brazilian state audit court — containerized deploys in an institution where change is hard.

3 clusters, 15+ nodes, 50+ services
Kubernetes Rancher CI/CD
observability

The monitoring stack, end to end

Built and ran monitoring across hosts and network — so problems surfaced before tickets did.

100+ hosts, 10+ networks, 50+ devices
Prometheus Grafana Nagios Cacti
voip migration

Legacy appliance → Asterisk

Replaced a legacy VoIP appliance with Asterisk and automated extension provisioning end to end.

90-channel trunk, 200+ DIDs, 200+ internal extensions, 10+ call queues
Asterisk Bash
compliance-grade infra

Infrastructure that survives audits

DevOps for Shield's communications-compliance platform (DCGA), used by regulated financial institutions — where audit trails are not optional.

semana da engenharia

Attendee → coordinator → IT manager

Volunteering with Semana da Engenharia since student days; these days I run the event's infrastructure.

RKE2, a public ASN, and a tape library

Seven RKE2 nodes — Ceph on 7TB of NVMe, Prometheus/Grafana, private apps and a full media stack — plus 34TB of bulk storage, OPNsense routing with BGP on AS213367, and Bacula backups that end on actual tape.
