Summary
Andre Gaudencio is a Senior DevOps Engineer based in Lisbon with nine years of experience modernizing AWS-based SaaS platforms through Infrastructure-as-Code, CI/CD standardization, and observability. He led an enterprise-wide AWS migration and Terraform adoption that cut cloud costs by 30% while standardizing GitHub Actions across 100+ repositories to shrink deployments from hours to minutes. A pragmatic security and compliance driver, Andre has steered SOC 2 programs, vulnerability remediation, and disaster recovery exercises to improve MTTR and SLA adherence. He combines hands-on engineering—building reusable Terraform modules, hardened Docker images, and centralized Datadog telemetry—with mentoring and cross-functional platform strategy to accelerate delivery. Notably, his background in high-throughput Java microservices gives him an unusual blend of application-level understanding and operational rigor that helps bridge product and infrastructure decisions.
