Top SchoolJose Villanova is a Senior Engineering Manager based in São Paulo with 15 years of experience specializing in databases, SRE and cloud cost optimization. He has led large, cross-functional organizations (up to 48 people across SRE, DBA, developer experience and support) to improve deployment velocity, reduce incidents and drive multi-million‑reais cost reductions. His hands-on background in PostgreSQL/MySQL, Python and Linux informs pragmatic platform and architecture improvements that avoid single points of failure. He has led full cloud migrations and finops initiatives, turning monitoring and alert fatigue into automated workflows that repurposed a 24x7 NOC into a daytime N3 support team. Known for combining technical depth with people leadership, he coaches engineers through 1:1s and clear development paths while enforcing high production SLAs. A former database specialist and early-career systems developer, he brings long institutional memory and practical automation instincts to large-scale operations.
