Summary
Pablo Opazo is a Principal Site Reliability Engineer with 11 years of experience building and operating cloud-native infrastructure that moves fast without breaking. He has led large-scale observability and reliability efforts across startups and growth-stage companies, from architecting Grafana Cloud and OpenTelemetry migrations to scaling services to 300K+ RPS and cutting costs by 40% after acquisition integrations. Pablo combines hands-on systems engineering (Go/Rust/Python collectors, eBPF monitoring, custom Kubernetes controllers) with pragmatic process improvements that reduced incidents and MTTR substantially. Comfortable across AWS, GCP, EKS/AKS and bare-metal, he’s repeatedly delivered full production environments and automated CI/CD pipelines under tight timelines. Notably, he has a track record of replacing costly platforms with efficient open-source solutions (Temporal, KEDA, Native Histograms) to improve precision and reduce operational overhead.
