👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMiguel Alexandre is a Staff DevOps Engineer based in Rotterdam with 10 years of experience building cloud-native platforms and enabling developer autonomy at Bynder. He combines hands-on software engineering and infrastructure expertise—moving teams from monoliths to microservices, running on Kubernetes, and codifying delivery with IaC and GitOps. Miguel contributes to notable open-source projects like Backstage, adding both frontend UX improvements and backend scaffolder enhancements that show his cross-cutting focus on developer experience and release safety. His background spans observability, service-mesh (Istio), CI/CD and platform automation, and he often extracts cross-cutting concerns out of application logic to simplify failure handling. Practical and detail-oriented, he prioritizes developer efficacy as much as system reliability.
