Top SchoolJesús Valdez is a Site Reliability Engineer II based in Amsterdam with 8 years of experience designing and operating large-scale, cloud-native systems. He combines hands-on development in Python and Go with deep AWS expertise (ECS, EKS, EC2, S3) and strong IaC practices using Terraform to drive cost reductions and reliability gains. Jesús has repeatedly improved throughput and uptime—migrating to container orchestration to cut costs by half, raising availability to 99.5% with blue/green deployments, and tuning real-time pipelines that process billions of messages daily. He’s led small teams and mentored engineers at high-growth startups and scale-ups, bringing a pragmatic mix of code quality, automation, and DevOps culture. A quick learner and problem solver, he also builds operational tooling (e.g., ChatOps bots) that reduces toil and speeds incident response.
