Rafael Rego is a seasoned DBA, DataOps and DevOps engineer with 11 years of experience blending infrastructure, databases and data engineering to build reliable cloud-native analytics platforms. Currently a Platform Tech Lead at Descartes, he architects and automates AWS-hosted systems and pipelines using Oracle, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis and tools like Airflow, Kettle PDI and Metabase. His background spans deep storage, backup and data center operations through senior infrastructure roles, giving him a pragmatic, operational perspective on data reliability and recoverability. Rafael codes in PL/SQL, Python, shell and JVM languages to turn repetitive maintenance into tested automation, and brings a forensic mindset from studies in computational forensics and IT security. Based in Ceará, Brazil, he describes himself playfully as a "Computerologist" — signaling a curiosity-driven approach that pairs low-level systems expertise with data-centric product thinking.
