Summary
Thierry Montalbano is a Senior DevOps Platform Engineer (SRE) with 8 years of hands-on experience building and operating low-latency, global hybrid-cloud and bare-metal Kubernetes platforms from Cupertino. He has deep expertise automating infrastructure lifecycle with Terraform, PXE/KVM provisioning, and cloud APIs, and has scaled systems to support latency-sensitive multiplayer and real-time ad delivery workloads. Thierry pairs strong observability and incident-response practice—Prometheus/Grafana/Loki, centralized logging, and Splunk—with operational database high-availability (Postgres, PgBouncer, HAProxy) and Elasticsearch migrations. His background as a Unix systems administrator in high-frequency trading and 24/7 enterprise environments gives him a proven ability to troubleshoot complex, cross-site incidents and design resilient recovery procedures. He regularly mentors distributed teams and led cross-cloud migrations (AKS→EKS) and large-scale storage POCs, demonstrating both hands-on engineering and systems-level judgment. Notably, he combines low-level infrastructure automation (PXE, kickstarts) with modern cloud-native patterns, making him comfortable from BIOS to Kubernetes.
