Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolHeitor De Bittencourt is a Simulation Systems Engineer and physicist-turned-software professional with a decade of experience building HPC, DevOps, and simulation intelligence solutions. He has led infrastructure teams and architected scalable Slurm-based HPC clusters, automating deployments with Juju, Ansible and Terraform while operating global bare-metal fleets and cloud hybrids. His background at CERN and contributions to the CERN Open Data portal show a blend of scientific data provenance work and open-source engineering, including markdown/math rendering and dataset presentation improvements. Comfortable across Python, Rust, Go and shell scripting, he pairs low-level systems knowledge (Linux kernel, InfiniBand, filesystems) with observability stacks like Prometheus/Grafana and centralized logging. Heitor’s career threads research, teaching and product-focused roles, which gives him a rare ability to translate complex scientific workflows into maintainable, production-grade infrastructure.
