Summary
Wilton Felix is a Site Reliability Engineer based in São Paulo with 8 years of hands-on experience building resilient, observable cloud-native systems across fintech, e‑commerce, and SaaS companies. He combines a developer mindset with strong DevOps practices—designing microservices (Go, Node.js), event-driven architectures with Kafka, and automated CI/CD pipelines using Terraform, Helm, GitLab/GitHub Actions and Jenkins. At ElvenWorks and prior roles he drove migrations to AWS, introduced Prometheus/New Relic/Grafana for end-to-end observability, and helped embed DORA metrics and vulnerability scanning into daily workflows, improving uptime and feature lead time. Now at Mercado Livre he focuses on SRE-scale reliability and operability for high-traffic platforms. Unexpectedly, his background includes a pattern of reducing costs while increasing availability through pragmatic infra choices (Vault, EKS, immutable images) and automating runbooks and rollbacks to keep SLAs predictable.
