Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGuido Serra is a pragmatic Cloud Architect and SRE/DevOps specialist with over 15 years of hands-on experience building and stabilizing complex distributed systems since his start in an ISP in 1996. Based in Berlin and rooted in Italian engineering, he blends deep troubleshooting instincts—tearing systems apart to find root causes—with cloud-native design across AWS EKS, Google Cloud, Kubernetes, and performance-focused tooling. He has driven reliability, capacity planning, and security work at companies from startups to global platforms (Clovr Labs, HelloFresh, OLX, Gaikai), often owning both architecture and on-call realities. Guido’s background includes performance engineering, CDN/DNS strategy, and instrumentation/observability (ELK, Prometheus, Grafana), plus practical cost-conscious designs as a startup CTO. He’s comfortable switching hats between hands-on automation and strategic sizing or vendor selection, and he still enjoys the hacker mindset that got him started at 16. A quirky but telling detail: he describes himself as one of many "oompa loompas" running the internet, reflecting a long career of quiet, essential operations work.
