Summary
Lucas Machado is a pragmatic back-end engineer with seven years of professional experience and a five-year focus on server-side systems, currently building cloud-native infrastructure at SUSE/Rancher. He has driven large-scale refactors and reliability work—migrating APIs to TypeScript, hardening serverless functions with RBAC, and converting infra to Terraform and Flux—while also improving a Go-based Helm release manager for maintainability. Lucas has a strong track record in performance tuning (taking a system from 25k to 1M requests in 5 minutes), building distributed systems with Golang and Cadence, and managing Kubernetes deployments with Helm. Comfortable leading small teams and shaping roadmaps, he blends hands-on coding with DevOps and automation expertise rooted in an automation-and-control engineering background from UFMG and practical industrial control experience. Based in Minas Gerais, Brazil, he brings a systems-minded approach that ties low-level automation sensibilities to scalable cloud architectures.
