Summary
👤
SeniorStephano Ferreira is a Freelance Senior Platform Engineer based in Berlin with 17+ years building high-performance, cloud-native systems and distributed platforms for startups, industrial customers and Fortune 500s. He specializes in Kubernetes, GitOps, SRE and platform engineering—designing and operating multi-cloud infrastructures at scale (hundreds of clusters and up to ~1k nodes) while driving cost and complexity reduction. Stephano has led cloud migrations, built operator-based provisioning, and developed observability and GitLab/Argo-driven CI/CD pipelines that serve millions of users and connected devices. He pairs deep systems-level experience (Linux, storage, networking, etc.) with hands-on development in Go and Python, often shipping custom operators, Helm charts and tooling. Notably, he has solved critical production incidents (etcd, CNI) and contributed practical fixes back to open-source projects, blending SRE discipline with platform product thinking. He moves fluidly between greenfield platform builds and modernizing legacy estates, prioritizing reliability, security and developer velocity.
