Ricardo Barbosa is a Senior Platform Engineer with a decade of experience building cloud-native platforms that accelerate developer velocity and reduce operational risk. Currently at Upwork, he designs CI/CD and GitOps pipelines (Tekton, ArgoCD), manages Kubernetes on AWS EKS, and codifies infrastructure with Terraform to deliver repeatable, secure environments. His background in data infrastructure and DevOps gives him a strong appreciation for observability and scalable data services, having automated database and Snowflake provisioning in past roles. Comfortable coding automation and platform services in Python, Node.js, and Java, he focuses on platform standardization and "paved road" experiences that lower cognitive load for teams. Based in Minas Gerais, Brazil, Ricardo combines hands-on implementation with systems thinking informed by earlier research work—he even published a Python package for camera discovery used in a Petrobras-linked lab project.
