Staff Platform Engineer

"Building the control planes that power critical infrastructure."

Applying Control Theory and LowOps principles to build self-healing cloud architectures that manage themselves.

The Physics of Software

I view cloud infrastructure through the lens of a Systems Engineer: a dynamic environment requiring stability, feedback loops, and observability. My background isn't just coding; it's Control Theory (M.Sc.) applied to distributed systems.

Currently, as a Staff-Track Engineer at Magalu Cloud, I architect self-healing control planes. I use State Machines and Reconciliation Loops to automate the lifecycle of database clusters, treating infrastructure as a deterministic system that converges to a desired state.

The LowOps Philosophy

I believe infrastructure should be invisible. I build Internal Developer Platforms (IDP) and "Golden Paths" that allow teams to ship code without getting bogged down in operations.
