Antonio Lorenzo is a Senior Site Reliability Engineer with 12 years of experience building reliable, observable cloud infrastructure and data pipelines to support large-scale scientific and ML workloads. Based in Madison, WI, he has designed and provisioned AWS environments with Terraform and Kubernetes that scale to thousands of nodes and terabytes of egress while leading observability stacks (Grafana, Loki, Tempo, VictoriaMetrics, OpenTelemetry) to detect subtle issues like Istio misconfigurations. A generalist by training—with a PhD in Optics and early research work deploying IoT sensors and operational solar/wind forecasting pipelines—he brings both academic rigor and production-first pragmatism. He’s contributed to pvlib-python, improving core solar-position functionality and tests, reflecting a lasting commitment to open-source tools for the energy domain. At Lambda and prior companies he’s written custom controllers and cleanup automation when off-the-shelf solutions fell short, showing a knack for engineering elegant fixes to operational pain points. Driven by curiosity, he focuses his skills on work that can make a measurable impact on the climate crisis.
