Summary
Lucas Alves is a Senior Software Developer from Brazil with 11 years building cloud-native, systems-level software—especially in Go—for CDN, edge computing, and distributed systems. He combines hands-on infrastructure work (k8s operators, Terraform, kubeadm) with application-level services like gRPC microservices, logging pipelines, and cloud firewall abstractions across GCP, AWS and Oracle Cloud. His background includes financial and public-sector systems, IoT/embedded PoCs with ESP32/FreeRTOS, and production automation using ArgoCD, Helm and CI/CD. An open-source enthusiast who prefers "Unix-like" tooling, he maintains infrastructure code such as a terraform-aws-kubernetes project and routinely embeds Lua into nginx for high-performance text processing. Colleagues rely on him to bridge low-level system programming and pragmatic operational workflows to ship resilient, auditable services.
