Xavier Naveira is a seasoned Platform Engineer with 25 years in IT and 13 years of documented professional experience, blending deep systems, networking and SRE expertise with hands-on software development in Java, Go, C, JavaScript and Python. He has led reliability and observability efforts at enterprise scale (Volvo Cars) and co-founded cloud- and IoT-focused startups, designing serverless backends, Kubernetes platforms and CI/CD automation across AWS, Azure and bare-metal environments. A practical polyglot, he contributes to open-source projects like metallb—improving its build and deployment workflows—and has implemented market integrations for mobile apps, showing a breadth from low-level networking to consumer-facing software. Xavier’s trajectory from old-school sysadmin to tech lead gives him a rare end-to-end perspective on infrastructure lifecycle, tooling and culture change, making him effective in both hands-on delivery and coaching roles. Outside work he channels his technical curiosity into astronomy, microelectronics and 3D printing, often running side projects that explore AI/LLMs and new frameworks.
