Engineering Reliable Cloud Platforms 

BIOGRAPHY

Hi, I'm Guilherme — a Senior Cloud Platform Engineer based in São Paulo, Brazil, with 9+ years designing, modernizing, and optimizing scalable cloud infrastructure. I've delivered platform work across food-tech, healthcare, retail, financial investor-relations, and data platforms.

My focus is Infrastructure as Code, Kubernetes, CI/CD automation, and FinOps — turning fragmented, costly environments into modular, observable, and cost-efficient platforms. I've cut AWS spend by 61%, reduced deployment times by 88%, and migrated 4,000+ repositories to GitHub Enterprise Cloud.

I work with high autonomy and full ownership, from multi-account / multi-region Terraform architecture to least-privilege deployment models and developer-platform standardization.
