Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPedro Alves is a Staff Engineer with 11+ years building and operating large-scale microservice platforms, currently focused on reliability, observability, and resilient system design. He combines deep backend expertise in Java and the JVM ecosystem with hands-on experience in Go, Python and cloud-native tech (Kubernetes, GCP, AWS) to own services end-to-end—from API design and implementation to on-call operations and postmortems. At Zalando and Wayfair he led company-wide telemetry and SLO initiatives, developed SDKs for standardized metrics/tracing, and ran incident and production-readiness reviews. Comfortable stepping into tech lead responsibilities, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a strong operational mindset rooted in database persistence and cost-optimisation work. A former Linux packet-filter developer with CCNA and an MSc in Computer Science, he brings low-level systems intuition to service reliability challenges.
