Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndré Carmo is a Principal Platform Engineer with 12 years of experience designing and operating CI/CD and Kubernetes platforms at scale, currently boosting engineering productivity in AI-focused platform work at Talkdesk. He has repeatedly led cross-functional teams and technical advisory groups to revamp build, deploy and release tooling—driving company-wide projects that replaced legacy CI/CD with Argo Rollouts, GitHub Actions, Backstage, Terraform and multi-region Kubernetes deployments. Known for pragmatic cost-optimization and reliability work (including a 75% AWS Kubernetes cost reduction), he combines hands-on coding in Java and TypeScript with platform architecture and technical leadership of 10–20 people. His career spans major platform transformations at Talkdesk, Farfetch and Feedzai, delivering YAML-driven shared pipelines, scalable SeleniumGrids and automated pipeline engines adopted across hundreds of services. Based in Vila do Conde, Portugal, he pairs deep SRE/dev-experience expertise with a history of operational innovation and mentoring, and often works directly with senior engineering leadership and the Office of the CTO. A practical systems thinker, he’s as comfortable tuning autoscaling and spot-instance strategies as he is redefining developer workflows to shorten feedback loops.
