Alonso Parasxidis Moreno

Platform Engineer | SRE | Kubernetes Specialist

Building and scaling cloud-native infrastructure at scale. Specialized in GitOps workflows, Infrastructure as Code, and internal developer platforms.

About Me

I'm a Platform Engineer with over 6 years of experience designing and operating cloud-native Kubernetes infrastructure at scale. My expertise lies in GitOps workflows, Infrastructure as Code, and building internal developer platforms that empower engineering teams.

Throughout my career, I've managed multi-region clusters, implemented robust CI/CD pipelines, and driven DevOps transformation across startups and enterprise environments. I'm passionate about automating everything and creating reliable, scalable systems.

Beyond work, I actively contribute to the cloud community as an organizer and speaker at the AWS User Group Ensenada, where I share knowledge about AWS services, infrastructure automation, and DevOps practices.
