Summary
Fernando Costa is a Senior Solutions Architect and partner with over two decades of hands-on experience building and operating Linux-centered infrastructure, hybrid-cloud platforms, and bespoke software across sectors from fintech to manufacturing. He co-founded his first company as a teenager and has since launched two more ventures while advising hundreds of consultancies on reliability, automation, and digital transformation. Technically fluent across scripting and compiled languages (Perl, Python, Java, C, Fortran 77) and certified at senior levels in Linux and Microsoft stacks, he blends deep systems expertise with practical architecture and CI/CD design. He excels at translating diverse operational needs—datacenter builds, telco setups, embedded agents, video monitoring and ML analytics—into maintainable, scalable solutions. A longtime open source advocate (early Slackware and IBM AIX user, among Brazil’s first RHCEs), he pairs entrepreneurial curiosity with mentorship and a track record of driving technical maturity in client teams. Based in Espírito Santo, Brazil, he uniquely combines legacy systems know-how with modern cloud-native practices to solve atypical, cross-domain problems.
