Hi, I'm Guilherme (Gui) Carraro Martins, a Senior Platform Engineer with 10+ years of building and operating Kubernetes-based platforms in production. I specialize in cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS), CI/CD automation, GitOps, and developer platforms, with a track record of owning systems end-to-end and enhancing developer velocity in complex environments. I have hands-on experience across enterprise-scale platforms, outages, migrations, and scaling events, and I enjoy turning platform complexity into reliable, observable, and self-service experiences for engineering teams.
