Experience

Senior SRE

Perk (Corporate travel and spend management) · Barcelona, Spain

  • Second SRE hire; set the IaC and observability standards for the platform and partnered with the Engineering Manager on the team's roadmap.
  • Sped new microservice Datadog observability provisioning 95% (days → minutes) with a reusable Terraform module framework — cost, reliability, and security guardrails enforced via Terraform validations, and per-service isolation so one change can't break others. Closed a 2-year backlog of outdated provider versions.
  • Cut product engineers' monitoring-maintenance time 75% (3 days → 4 hours) by rearchitecting the company's Datadog observability stack in Terraform; adopted by 100% of services.
  • Cut database costs 10% through capacity planning and routing AWS RDS purchases through our discounted reseller.
  • Onboarded 200 services from a newly acquired company onto Datadog, cutting MTTD 90% (days → seconds) and MTTR 80% across a Cloud Run, Cloud Function and GKE in GCP. Created agent skills and automations to accelerate the rollout to a month instead of the planned 6 months across all engineering teams using GCP..
  • Lifted post-incident follow-up completion from 40% to 90% by automating the incident management process and increasing visibility for engineers and leadership.

DevOps / SRE

Collective Minds (Healthcare collaboration platform) · Barcelona, Spain

  • Accelerated deployments 10x as the first DevOps Engineer hire; built the infrastructure strategy from scratch with Terraform and Terragrunt.
  • Decreased by 50% the build and deployment time by building the containerization strategy from local Docker Compose through Gitlab CI to ECS and Kubernetes deployment.
  • Cut MTTR from 4 hours to 20 minutes by building the OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana Cloud, and CloudWatch observability stack across containers and AMIs.
  • Cut audit time 50% and lifted security posture by codifying network-security and data-protection governance policies.
  • Cut the monthly cloud bill 15% by integrating Infracost, CloudCustodian, AWS Compute Optimizer, and AWS Cost Optimization Hub into Grafana to surface unused resources and anomalies.
  • Sped less-regulated CI 3x and cut new-service spin-up 20% through per-microservice Gitlab CI pipeline templates, Nixery-based Docker images, and a monorepo→multirepo split.

Software Engineer

AleaSoft (Energy price forecasting) · Barcelona, Spain

  • Reduced data quality issues detection in 70%, from days to minutes, by building a data monitoring for all the energy data services.
  • Cut release time in 70% by creating an internal C++ package manager for all applications and libraries.
  • Cut data latency 20% by developing Python and C++ ETLs and forecasting models with smart update policies for the French and German energy markets.
  • Cut data latency 30%, network downtime 10%, and deployment time 40% by implementing a timeseries visualization platform with web monitoring and admin panel using Symfony, Python, Luigi, AWS CDK, Github Actions, and Docker.
  • Cut backup time 70%, recovery time 50%, and storage cost 30% by automating web hosting backup and rollback onto cloud storage.

Digital Signal Processing Engineer

CopSonic (IoT ultrasonic connectivity) · Toulouse, France

  • Increased the communication range by 5x and decreased bit-error rate in 10% by building a sound-wave NFC system for embedded devices in C and MATLAB DSP on STM microcontrollers.
  • Cut prototype time 10%, increased noise resiliency in 15%, and trimmed payload to 100 samples in all services by building the framework for an indoor sound-wave communication system in C++, MATLAB DSP, and Android.

Software Engineer

Conoce Cuba (private-business directory) · Havana, Cuba
