Cloud Infrastructure for
Mission-Critical Energy Systems
DevOps and Infrastructure Engineer with 15+ years building the monitoring and data infrastructure behind real-time power grid systems across eight countries. AWS Certified AI Practitioner, helping energy, utility, and industrial teams design cloud systems that stay online.
Cloud infrastructure built for systems that can't go down
I bring the same engineering discipline used to keep national power grids online to your company's cloud infrastructure.
Real-Time Data & Monitoring
Telemetry pipelines and dashboards built on Zabbix, Grafana, and openHistorian — proven across monitoring systems live in eight countries, supervising 100+ real-time measurement devices.
Cloud Infrastructure & Migration
AWS environments (EC2, S3) designed for reliability and scale — not just launch day.
Network & Security
VPNs and TCP/IP architecture for environments where data integrity is not optional.
Systems Administration & DevOps
Linux/Windows Server administration, Python/Bash automation, CI/CD workflows, and Docker deployments for infrastructure that runs 24/7.
Engineering rigor meets cloud expertise
Built for Critical Infrastructure
For over 15 years I've designed and operated the monitoring infrastructure behind synchrophasor-based power grid systems — including an 8-country Zabbix deployment supervising 100+ real-time phasor measurement devices — where downtime isn't an inconvenience, it's a risk to grid reliability. That same discipline now shapes how I build infrastructure for clients: secure by design, monitored continuously, and documented clearly.
From Electrical Engineering to AWS
I hold a degree in Electrical Engineering, graduate-level coursework in Power Systems from UFSC, and an AWS Certified AI Practitioner credential — a combination that lets me speak both languages: the physical systems your infrastructure supports, and the cloud architecture that keeps the data flowing. I've built this cross-domain expertise for utilities, research institutions, and industrial R&D teams across eight countries in South America and Europe.
