Ruberto Paulo is a hands-on Chief Technology Officer with 11 years of experience building and leading engineering teams across payments and fintech in the Western Cape. He combines deep Ruby on Rails roots and systems architecture experience with operational ownership—designing resilient infrastructure, guiding DevOps/SRE practices, and overseeing security, audits and budgets. Known for rolling up his sleeves to code alongside teams, he balances technical rigor with people-first management: hiring, onboarding, career frameworks and training that make teams sustainable. At Peach Payments he led platform, DevSecOps and SRE functions; now at TurnStay he focuses on payments resilience and long-lived systems. Outside work he brings a creative, curious streak—self-described “Code Warlock” and maker of crème brûlée—which hints at a leader who values craft, curiosity and culture.
