Summary
Ronald Carvalho is a Senior DevOps/Platform Engineer with nine years of experience building and operating cloud-native platforms across GCP, AWS and Azure. He specializes in Kubernetes (GKE/EKS/AKS) at scale, GitOps (ArgoCD + Helm), Terraform/Terragrunt-based IaC and service mesh technologies like Istio and Linkerd, having supported 50+ clusters and platforms serving millions of users. Ronald has driven DevOps culture change, implemented DR strategies and compliance (LGPD, PCI-DSS), and introduced Well-Architected practices and Kanban/OKR disciplines to improve delivery predictability. He combines hands-on cluster and CI/CD engineering with mentoring, cross-team technical leadership and interviewer duties, making him as comfortable refactoring Terragrunt modules as facilitating architecture discussions. Based in Pernambuco, Brazil, he is currently shaping platform engineering at Mottu after leading large SRE efforts at Zup and Liferay Cloud. A detail often missed: he pairs infrastructure clean-code principles with pragmatic operational runbooks, ensuring changes are both maintainable and battle-tested in production.
