Summary
Adrian Silva is an experienced infrastructure and SRE leader with 15+ years of hands-on practice designing resilient systems across physical, virtual, and cloud environments, currently leading operations at Flywire. He combines deep mastery of Debian-based tooling, Puppet, LXC, automation and site reliability practices with a facilitation-first mindset—prioritizing stakeholder needs and smooth human-technology interaction over tool fetishism. Adrian has a track record of turning slow, error-prone release processes into fast, automated pipelines and rescuing legacy infrastructures with pragmatic, small-scale automation. Comfortable across scripting (Python, Bash, Ruby) and ops staples (MySQL, nginx, Chef), he also brings experience in international development and ICT4D where change management and scenario planning mattered as much as technical choices. An early adopter of distributed VCS and configuration management, he pairs veteran operational instincts with a continual curiosity for better approaches.
