Summary
🤩
RockstarJorge Costa is a pragmatic platform engineer with over two decades of hands-on experience automating build and deployment pipelines across banks, media, government and cloud-native startups. Currently at Citibank he cut MongoDB Atlas cluster provisioning from weeks to days using secure Terraform modules, while previous roles include designing Kubernetes migration frameworks and large-scale GitOps-driven cloud platforms. He’s known for removing complexity, boosting team velocity with common-sense iterative solutions, and a knack for scaling CI/CD—evidenced by speeding ClusterHQ test suites from 48 hours to 36 minutes. A self-described “vim geek,” Jorge blends deep storage and SAN roots with modern DevOps practices and has contributed CI/CD automation to notable open-source projects like Flocker. Practical, direct and creative, he thrives on turning messy, risky environments into auditable, repeatable platforms.
