Top SchoolValerio Barrila is a Platform Engineer Lead with 13 years designing and operating resilient cloud-native platforms, currently focused on AWS and Kubernetes.

His toolkit spans Terraform, Helm, Prometheus/Thanos, Kafka and Cassandra, and he’s delivered multi-region, high-availability systems for gaming, finance and ecommerce at companies like eBay, Pleo and Entain. Valerio is known for clear communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders, mentoring new engineers, and translating reliability goals into pragmatic automation. A pragmatic generalist rather than a single-topic specialist, he excels at connecting people, processes and infrastructure to reduce operational risk and cost.
