Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJoao Morais is a seasoned software engineer and sysadmin with ~20 years building high-performance, low-latency systems and operating large, critical Kubernetes platforms. Currently at Red Hat working on OpenShift Network, Ingress & DNS, he brings deep Golang expertise and a track record of tuning ingress controllers for availability and resilience, including notable backend contributions to the widely used ingress-nginx project. At VMware he designed desired-state API libraries and led control-plane work for lifecycle appliances and Cluster API-based vSphere provisioners, and earlier roles at Serpro saw him build bespoke ingress solutions and automate mission-critical government pipelines. Comfortable across infra and developer workflows, he pairs hands-on coding (Bash, Go, microcontrollers) with system-level troubleshooting and failure triage. Based in Santa Catarina, Brazil, he balances production-focused engineering with a habit of tinkering on personal automation and sensor projects.
