Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMario Camou is a Senior SRE and Staff Engineer with 25+ years of hands-on experience building and operating distributed systems, currently focused on blockchain and AI-data platforms from Madrid. He moves freely between development and infrastructure—writing Go and Rust services, operating bare-metal Kubernetes clusters, and designing observability, backup and DR systems—because he believes best systems are built by people who understand both code and metal. Mario has led SRE teams, architected platforms for high-frequency financial oracles and L1 blockchains, and contributed observability improvements to the well-known drand distributed randomness beacon. Practical and wide-ranging, he has reduced incident rates, halved testbed spin-up time, and rearchitected indexing and ingestion pipelines for horizontal scaling. Comfortable in roles from pre-sales to CTO, he thrives where he can “touch everything”—hardware, networking, databases, and developer tooling—to deliver resilient, scalable infrastructure.
