Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLeonardo Dos Santos is a Staff Software Engineer based in Berlin with 11 years of experience building full-stack and cloud-native systems, now leading the Internal Developer Platform at Contentful. He moved from browser-based apps and Node.js stacks into designing scalable backend services, Kubernetes-driven deployments, Terraform infrastructure, and AWS multi-account governance. His work focuses on developer productivity—defining golden paths, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and serverless event-driven patterns that shorten onboarding and accelerate safe releases. He combines hands-on implementation (Helm, Kubernetes manifests, Lambda, SNS/SQS/EventBridge) with strategic platform vision and cross-functional mentorship. Early research on Branch and Bound algorithms hints at a methodical approach to problem solving and optimization. Fluent in translating operational constraints into auditable, cost-aware infrastructure, he balances long-term strategy with pragmatic, incremental delivery.
