Senior🎓
Top SchoolFernando Torres is a Site Reliability Engineer with 13 years of experience building and operating high-scale DNS and cloud infrastructure, now on Google's DNS-focused SRE team in Dublin. Previously at AWS he led multi-region deprecations and re-architected load-balanced DNS systems handling millions of TPS, cutting fleet footprint and eliminating critical availability risks. He combines hands-on systems development—Python tooling, containerized services and DNS automation—with product and operational leadership, evidenced by zero-downtime migrations of hundreds of hosts and post-mortem investigations presented to senior executives. As a founder and CTO of two startups he designed ML and graph-data solutions, deployed MLOps workshops for Amazon’s internal university, and remains an active open-source contributor to widely used Docker images like fauria/docker-lamp and docker-vsftpd. Comfortable across networking, containers, and machine learning deployments, he brings a pragmatic, cost-conscious approach to resilient distributed systems. Outside of work he shares technical updates as @fauria on Twitter, reflecting a long-standing public-facing engineering presence.
