About me and this website
Who I am, what I do, what’s the point of the website, etc.
In this page I will try to put my best foot forward and highlight my qualities, accomplishments, aspirations and goals to you, the reader. This is not out of some narcissistic need to impress you, but rather to give you a better idea of what I’m about.
Hello, I’m a DevOps Engineer working with various technologies but with a keen interest in Kubernetes. I’m also a bit of a GNU/Linux enthusiast, having been using the operating system for over a decade now. My formal education is comprised of unfinished bachelors degrees in both Computer Science and Abstract Mathematics at prestigious universities in my home country.
Here are a few things about me:
- I’m Kubernetes certified: currently a certified administrator (CKA) and application developer (CKAD).
- I’m AWS certified: currently a certified cloud practitioner (CCP), working slowly towards more certifications.
- I’ve had contributions accepted into staging branches of the Linux kernel’s IIO subsystem.
- I’ve been using GNU/Linux for over a decade now, working on the command line for the most part.
- I speak English, Portuguese, some Spanish and a bit of Japanese. Self-taught for the most part.
- In my current team, I’m the go-to person when people need help with Kubernetes, Git, Linux, and more.
- I enjoy karaoke, reading, and playing video games. I’m really good at Tetris, and love The Legend of Zelda.
Additionally, I’m a pretty fast learner. To illustrate: in under a year I came to hold three certifications, became a mentor in my team, was entrusted with presenting to important foreign clients, and put in charge of a major project that brought in over 12 new contracts from the same client. I was promoted in quick succession, and am perceived as a good mentor and programming pair by my peers.
What about this website?
This website was never meant to be a portfolio, but if you read the more technical pages and articles here, it could work as one! To make it easier for potential employers to use it as such, I’ll be making some changes to the overall layout and design of the website. For privacy reasons, personal information will be left out. Send me a PGP encrypted email if you want to confirm this page really is mine.
