We all have stories to tell. Having the stage to share them is a privilege.
I try to contribute by sharing my stories and by building the stage others are missing to share theirs.

Topics I speak about

Cloud & Platform Engineering

How to architect, build and deliver Internal Developer Platforms. Platform Teams. DevEx, golden paths. AWS Cloud architectures.

Cloud Native & Microservices

Everything around Kubernetes and containerization, IDPs with Crossplane and K8s Operators, GitOps with Flux & ArgoCD, progressive delivery with Flagger.

DevOps & Architecture

Pipeline design, process automation, change management, application security, observability, software complexity, infrastructure as code.
