📍 A Coruña, Spain

Platform Engineer currently working at Realnaut. In my daily routine I deploy applications into Kubernetes clusters, develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines, and run cloud-based services on AWS using Terraform.

I'm a Platform Engineer based in A Coruña with a degree in software engineering. I specialize in cloud infrastructure, container orchestration, and the automation of software delivery pipelines with a strong focus on reliability, cost efficiency, and developer experience.

My day-to-day involves deploying applications into Kubernetes clusters on AWS EKS and GKE, building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines with GitLab CI and Jenkins, and managing infrastructure as code with Terraform. I care deeply about observability and have set up full monitoring stacks using Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, and Grafana in production.

Outside of work I keep up with the cloud-native ecosystem and am always working towards the next certification.
