Arnaldo Pereira is a seasoned technology leader and hands-on engineer with over 20 years in tech and 15+ years in leadership, based in São Paulo. He has led infrastructure, SRE and engineering teams across fintech, e‑commerce and crypto, driving large migrations to cloud-native architectures, Kubernetes and IaC while creating measurable cost and reliability improvements. As a director and head of infrastructure he scaled teams, introduced Golang and SRE practices, and built deployment pipelines and monitoring that became company standards. Today as an independent consultant he focuses on SRE and AI work—speech recognition, text summarization and LLM integration—using stacks like OpenAI, LLaMA, llamaindex, Terraform and Pulumi. An active open-source contributor, he has deep VoIP/telephony roots from FreeSWITCH work, having improved R2 signaling modules for real-world telephony stability. He combines strategic process design with low-level systems experience, making him as comfortable optimizing cloud costs as debugging protocol state machines.
