I build automation platforms that make database performance benchmarking reproducible at scale. By day, I work with Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes, and Go at the Dell Innovation Center. By night (well, also by day), I research container interference profiling for my Master's at PUCRS — figuring out why your "isolated" workload is mysteriously 30% slower in production.
Former classical violinist who traded obsessing over intonation for obsessing over p99 latency. The pursuit of mastery carried over — my teammates once called me "The Infra Wizard" during project retrospectives, and I'm still not sure I've lived up to it. 🧙
TL;DR — I bridge academic rigor with production engineering. Bring me your unreproducible benchmark, your flaky CI, your "it works on my cluster," and let's measure our way out.

Performance & Automation Engineer End-to-end automation for distributed database benchmarking across Oracle, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL — at scale, fully reproducible.

Advisor: Prof. Cesar De Rose · PPGCC-PUCRS · 2026–2027 Kernel-level performance interference profiler for containerized environments — answering why noisy neighbors hurt, not just that they do.

Empirical comparison of Linux interference profiling stacks — SystemTap, procfs, bpftrace, eBPF/CO-RE middlewares + ABIs. The research artifact of my Master's.
|
Multi-cloud IaC (AWS primary + Azure DR) for the Pro-Mata ecological research center's hospitality platform. Led 8+ devs as PM & Infra Architect.

|
Deploy and manage Minecraft servers on AWS/Azure from a single CLI command. Terraform provisions, Ansible configures, Docker runs the game.
|
Cloud-agnostic IaC + CaC for the CP-Planta industrial management app — deploy the same stack to AWS or Azure with one switch.

|
C++ network protocol experiments for real-time audio — the violinist in me never really left.
|
Parallel Mandelbrot benchmarks across C++ Threads, oneTBB, FastFlow, and SPar — exploring structured parallel programming patterns on multi-cores.

I'm open to DevOps, Platform, Infrastructure, and Backend roles — especially where performance and reliability actually matter.
