Senior🎓
Top SchoolUmberto Valente is a Senior Software Engineer based in London with 7 years of experience building cloud-native backend systems and developer-focused tooling. He has a strong track record of delivering measurable impact—introducing IaC to cut costs by 40%, doubling release frequency through CI test automation, and architecting ephemeral AWS deployments to speed delivery. Skilled across AWS services (including Cognito migrations), Terraform CDK, Datadog monitoring and load-testing, he blends hands-on engineering with operational ownership and on-call discipline. A former chef who rose quickly through high-pressure kitchens, he brings a practical, process-driven approach and calm mentorship to engineering teams. He’s an active knowledge-sharer—publishing internal technical posts and founding an Infrastructure Community of Practice—to lift team capability beyond feature delivery. Currently at Seccl, he focuses on scalable, secure systems that improve developer experience and business outcomes.
