About.

Hello, I’m Lucas, a Site Reliability Engineer based in São Carlos, Brazil.

I was about ten when I started running online game servers and experimenting with VPS instances, databases, networks, and code. I was building things long before technology became my profession. I’ve also used AWS for personal projects for more than a decade, which gave me a place to keep testing ideas outside work.

I studied Law and practiced independently as a lawyer for roughly four years before moving into technology. Eventually, the servers won over the law books. I later completed a degree in Information Systems at the University of São Paulo. That earlier career is still a useful lens for my engineering judgment: I start with evidence, make risks and constraints explicit, and think about how a decision affects continuity, auditability, the way data is protected and governed, and the people who will operate the system.

Today I work across AWS and Azure in a global Cloud Center of Excellence. I investigate incidents, make operational signals more useful, and turn fragile manual steps into reliable, repeatable paths with Infrastructure as Code and observability. I use Platform Engineering and DevOps practices to give development teams self-service, reusable standards, and clear guardrails, with security and governance built into the design.

More recently, I’ve been building AI agents and skills for operations and onboarding. I use them to lighten repetitive work while keeping consequential decisions visible to people.

Away from infrastructure, I enjoy literature and especially love science fiction for the worlds it imagines as technology evolves. I also collect vinyl and listen to rock, alternative, and indie music.
