Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRafael Correa is a Senior Site Reliability Engineer and platform-minded systems architect with about 14 years of hands-on experience designing cloud-native, data and ML platforms—largely on AWS and Kubernetes. He excels in small autonomous teams with end-to-end ownership, having built OLX’s in-house ML platform, run multiple EKS clusters via Terraform, and pioneered Spark-on-Kubernetes and a serverless ML pipeline. Rafael pairs software engineering with infrastructure craftsmanship—authoring Go tooling, Python operators, and internal PaaS offerings that reduced cost and operational overhead. He’s pragmatic about maintainability and sustainability, emphasizes reproducible release engineering, and prefers roles with a physical presence in Germany while staying open to well-connected remote teams. An early entrepreneur who led cross-functional adoption of platform standards, he now focuses on Rust and K8s while prioritizing healthy work/life balance.
