Summary
Ivan Baldo is a seasoned researcher and systems engineer with 24 years of hands-on experience architecting, securing, and optimizing Linux-based infrastructures and web platforms. He has led reliability engineering teams and designed highly available, auto-scalable cloud architectures across AWS and GCP while codifying deployments with Ansible, Docker, Kubernetes/OpenShift and CI/CD pipelines. A senior C++ and PHP programmer, Ivan pairs deep MySQL/performance tuning expertise with kernel- and network-level security hardening (SELinux, IPTables, ModSecurity) to deliver reliable, high-throughput services. He also specializes in Windows-to-Linux workstation migrations and bespoke tooling—ranging from diskless network-boot fleets to PostgreSQL extensions for fuzzy matching—demonstrating a knack for elegant, low-level solutions. Comfortable supporting big data teams and packaging Debian artifacts, he blends long-term operational ownership with developer-facing integrations. Based in Montevideo, Uruguay, Ivan combines practical production experience with a researcher’s curiosity to solve complex scalability and performance problems.
