Summary
Daniel Herrera is a Site Reliability Engineer with nine years of hands-on experience building and operating resilient infrastructure for large-scale services, currently improving stability and latency at Algolia. Self-taught and pragmatic, he blends systems administration, automation, and software engineering to design IaC, internal tooling, and Kubernetes-based platforms across bare-metal and cloud environments. His background spans platform architecture, cloud strategy, and operational delivery from early sysadmin roles through systems architect and cloud platform engineer positions. Comfortable with cross-team collaboration, he pairs solid documentation and communication skills with a preference for open source technologies and DevOps best practices. Based in Granada, Spain, he brings a steady, optimistic approach to complex reliability challenges and enjoys balancing engineering work with hobbies like guitar and gaming. Unusually for a practitioner at his level, he retains deep hands-on involvement in low-level OS and infrastructure automation while driving platform-wide strategy.
