Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlvaro Leiva is a Production Engineer with 11 years of experience building and operating large-scale systems, currently focused on production reliability at Facebook in the San Francisco Bay Area. He brings a strong DevOps and automation background from prior roles as Lead DevOps Engineer and QA Engineer at LawLogix, where he managed AWS infrastructure, Puppet provisioning, and CI/CD to keep services running smoothly. Earlier leadership of R&D and teaching roles in Chile reflect a blend of hands-on engineering, mentorship, and product-minded research.

Based in the U.S. but educated and professionally formed in Chile, he combines international perspective with large-platform experience. Colleagues would note his practical focus on continuous operations and his tendency to improve systems through automation rather than ad hoc fixes.
