Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlvaro Avellanal is an engineering manager with deep hands-on roots in Linux, cloud DevOps and Python/Go development, currently leading delivery at Isovalent (now part of Cisco) to ensure enterprise platform quality across cloud and OpenShift environments. He has a track record of building and coaching global DevOps and platform teams at companies like Atlan and Canonical, focusing on stream-aligned, reusable tooling that accelerates developer productivity and reliable releases. His background spans operations, cloud reliability and release engineering dating back to university system administration and a Google Summer of Code placement, which reflects a long-standing mix of coding and infrastructure instincts. Colleagues know him for combining pragmatism in CI/CD and release processes with mentorship that helps engineers grow. He’s comfortable bridging product, QA and cloud providers to catch defects early and standardize delivery pipelines. Not obvious from titles alone: he has experience transferring customer environments to production-ready states and crafting deployable automation (charms/snaps) used in operational releases.
