Summary
William Mendes is a DevOps and SRE leader with 11 years of experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems, currently leading DevOps at Coralogix from Porto. He has driven observability and resilience at companies like FARFETCH and Feedzai, operating fleets of thousands of hosts, multi-petabyte storage, and platforms that process tens of billions of transactions with sub-100ms targets. Known for coaching and team-building, he has repeatedly grown observability teams, improved individual performance through mentorship, and shifted cultures toward proactive reliability practices. A former CTO and startup co-founder, he pairs hands-on technical depth (Prometheus, Thanos, Grafana, Kubernetes, Python, Go) with product-minded leadership. Based in Portugal but Brazilian-born, he brings an engineer’s curiosity—off the clock he’s passionate about motorcycles—which underscores a pragmatic, focused approach to solving hard operational problems.
