ABOUT ME
DevOps and SRE
DevOps and SRE

I'm a System Engineer with 10+ years of experience in the technical field, ranging from Dev, QA, DevOps, and SRE.
As of today, DevOps and SRE are my main areas of expertise; AWS, GCP, Terraform, Kubernetes, and anything that involves the Cloud.

I love sharing technical knowledge as well as solving problems, feel free to contact me!

If you're still here, as a bonus, I'm very passionate about text editors, especially Vim, and I like to write code in Python and Bash.

Santi has supported me throughout my project, teaching me the basics of IAC, terraform, and AWS in a way that helped me learn while contributing to my project. Making learning not only useful, but also easy and enjoyable. I warmly recommend Santi if you want to learn about the cloud and how to deploy infrastructure there.

Santi is patient, funny, smart, and very focused and experienced. Always tries to be helpful and when he does not have an answer to your question on occasion he hunts it down and finds and makes sure to send it to you.
