Hello, I'm

Alonso Parasxidis Moreno

Platform Engineer | SRE | Kubernetes Specialist

I build scalable Kubernetes platforms that help engineering teams ship faster. Specialized in GitOps workflows, Infrastructure as Code, and internal developer platforms.

About Me

I'm a Platform Engineer and CNCF Golden Kubestronaut with over 6 years of experience designing and operating cloud-native Kubernetes infrastructure at scale. As one of the select few worldwide to achieve all 15 CNCF certifications, 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.

Featured Projects

Highlights from my work building scalable cloud-native infrastructure and platforms.

EKS Blueprints Implementation

Designed and implemented a reusable EKS Blueprints pattern to deploy production-ready Kubernetes clusters with GitOps-enabled addon bootstrapping. Enabled multiple client teams to provision standardized, secure EKS environments in under 30 minutes.

  • Reduced cluster provisioning time from days to under 30 minutes
  • Standardized addon deployment across 10+ client environments
  • Implemented GitOps workflows with ArgoCD for continuous delivery

Internal Developer Platform

Built a self-service Internal Developer Platform (IDP) enabling development teams to provision infrastructure, deploy applications, and manage environments without platform team intervention.

  • Reduced infrastructure request tickets by 80%
  • Enabled self-service provisioning for 5+ development teams
  • Integrated with existing CI/CD pipelines and observability stack
