Back to original languageAbout Gabriel
DevOps and Platform Engineer with 8 years of experience in the software development industry. Certified as AWS Solutions Architect Professional, Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA), Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS), and a graduate in Electronic Engineering from Universidad Simón Bolívar in Venezuela.
I make infrastructure simple and transparent for companies, providing a secure, robust, and cost-optimized platform for developers to iterate their products and host their software efficiently.
Throughout my professional career, I have observed companies from various industries and countries implement both good and bad patterns in their digital infrastructure. This has led me to the conviction that it is possible to develop the Gold Standard of Internal Developer Platforms (IDP) for adoption by any large-scale company.
