About Charles

Experienced agile developer, I specialize in Big Data (Kafka, Couchbase, MongoDB, Elastic, NoSQL) and ML architectures.
I have already supervised development teams, performed audits, paired with Ops, and created POCs up to their production deployment.
I have a Devops approach, and master both the development (Java, Scala, Javascript, Python, Docker...) and operational (Bash, Ansible, Kubernetes, Terraform, crossplane, Prometheus, Grafana, AlertManager) aspects, including on-call duties.
