Gustavo Mendonça is a DevOps-focused software engineer with nine years of experience building cloud-native infrastructure and real-time systems for industrial and gaming applications. He has led Kubernetes deployments, CI/CD automation, and middleware optimizations that cut API response times from tens of seconds to under 100ms, and designed Redis-backed leaderboard and messaging systems for low-latency experiences. Comfortable both leading teams and doing hands-on engineering, he has delivered solutions across AWS EKS, Terraform, GitLab CI, Traefik and Keycloak while introducing monitoring and APM practices. Based in Minas Gerais, Brazil, he combines a mechatronics and systems development background with a curiosity for new technologies, often translating industrial automation needs into scalable software architectures.
