Senior🎓
Top SchoolJavier Palacios is a Senior Infrastructure Engineer with 17 years of hands-on experience building and operating heterogeneous Unix and cloud-native environments from workstations to enterprise production clusters. Currently managing GKE-centric infrastructure and IaC at Deliverect, he combines deep Unix sysadmin roots (RedHat, Debian, Solaris) and scripting proficiency with modern tooling like Terraform, ArgoCD and Kubernetes. His career spans designing delivery pipelines, CI/CD automation, and migrations (MySQL→Postgres, Spark→Django) across startups and scale-ups, plus on-premise SaaS deployments for large customers. An active contributor to packaging tooling on GitHub, he has practical expertise improving Debian packaging in a Gradle plugin—an example of his focus on reliable, reproducible deployments. With a background in mathematical engineering and physics, he brings analytical rigor to infrastructure problems and a deliberate preference for mixed, middleware-style solutions over narrow specialization.
