Summary
🤩
RockstarRodrigo Vaz is a Principal Software Engineer with 14+ years building high-scale platform infrastructure and orchestration systems, currently at NVIDIA after leading runtime infrastructure at Heroku/Salesforce. He combines deep UNIX/Linux internals and networking expertise with hands-on experience across languages and environments—from C/C++ embedded and kernel tracing work to Go-based microservices and container orchestration. Rodrigo has repeatedly solved complex production network and resource-containment problems (e.g., cgroups, tc, container layer mounting without Docker daemon) and designed control-plane/execution-plane protocols using gRPC. A pragmatic mentor and product-aware engineer, he has blended technical leadership and product ownership to prioritize high-value features and prevent large outages. His career traces back to systems and automation roles at Locaweb, IBM and early embedded projects, reflecting a rare mix of low-level systems craftsmanship and cloud-native platform design.
