Hello there! I'm Samuel, an Engineering Manager for the Core Platform team at Docplanner.
I bring a platform engineering background to leading teams, and I'm passionate about infrastructure at scale, helping engineers grow, and building an inclusive environment where people can do their best work.
In my spare time I like to watch sports, spend time with my family, and learn new things.
Worked on the Core Platform infrastructure and deployment strategies serving Docplanner's global engineering organization.
• Reduced 503 error rates on critical services from 15–20% to 0–5% by coordinating fixes across ingress controllers, GitOps tooling and application architecture.
• Led an end-to-end AWS account migration to separate production and testing environments, improving cost visibility and security while removing developer bottlenecks.
• Kept AI platform initiatives moving, integrated new models and established a support workflow adopted as the team standard.
• Mentored new joiners, contributed more than 20% of team code reviews and helped hire three engineers.
· Foster, teach and upscale a Platform vision and philosophy.
· Design, implement and secure key infrastructure projects at company level
As a Site Reliability Engineer in Glovo, my job consists in designing and providing infrastructure solutions for the entire organization. Some examples of my work are:
• Bootstrapping, scaling and maintaining all the kubernetes clusters in the company serving tens of millions of orders a week.
• Led the adoption of Kubernetes and successfully implemented multiple CD transitions using a GitOps approach, significantly improving efficiency and scalability.
• Started as one of the first system engineers in a small team and progressed to leading the Infrastructure Runtime team within the Platform Cluster, ensuring 24x7 availability for a high-volume business with over a million orders per day.
• Recruited, managed, and mentored a diverse team of engineers at various career stages, fostering growth and development within the organization.
Started as a Help Desk, quickly jumping into Systems Engineering.
Tasks included managing the infrastructure, automating manual processes and migrating old infrastructure to Kubernetes while supporting the developers.
