Summary
Abner Rizzi is a Senior Linux Engineer and SRE with over two decades of hands-on experience and eight years in senior infrastructure and DevOps roles, currently supporting global clients from Goiás, Brazil. He blends deep Linux, networking and observability expertise (pfSense, iptables, Zabbix, Prometheus, Grafana) with practical automation and CI/CD skills (Ansible, GitLab/GitHub, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes) to deliver secure, highly available systems. Abner has led migrations and platform modernizations—such as Cloudera CDH→CDP and GitLab→GitHub transitions—and routinely refactors monoliths into maintainable components to speed team delivery. He also brings application-level experience in PHP and Java stacks, a long history of infrastructure-as-code and backup/DR practice, and early exposure to UNIX systems since his teens that shaped his troubleshooting intuition. Fluent in Portuguese and advanced in English, he combines operational rigor with curiosity, recently formalizing his education with IS and CS50P studies.
