Summary
Aleida Olvera is a Senior Platform Engineer with 10 years of experience building and scaling cloud-native developer platforms, currently owning single-tenant cluster architecture and leading multi-region expansion at Klaviyo. She designs self-service tooling that removes operational bottlenecks—authoring Go CLIs that emit Terraform, Vault-driven config systems, and AI-grounded automation that gives teams instant feedback and reduces manual review. Her work has driven major cost savings and reliability wins, including a $6M/year Pulsar migration, zero-downtime API gateway cutover, and BFCM capacity planning that sustained 700k+ req/s with no SLO violations. A mentor and educator, she runs incident commander trainings and internal mentorship programs, and previously helped grow product engagement at Medium and educational curricula at Codecademy. Passionate about developer experience, she’s equally motivated by mission-driven work around education, anti-trafficking, and racial justice—interestingly, she pairs that with outspoken political values around abolitionism that inform her approach to equitable engineering.
