Hello there! I'm Samuel, a Senior Platform Engineer.
I have a passion for infrastructure at scale, diversity and inclusion, impact and helping other people grow. Good vibes are a must for me and I consider myself tenacious and a team player.
In my spare time I like to watch F1, basketball, spend time with my family and learning new things.
· 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.
