A bit about me
I'm Nahuel Gavilan, a Platform Engineer based in Calafell, Spain. I specialize in designing resilient, scalable cloud infrastructures. With expertise as a Cloud Architect, Site Reliability Engineer, and Platform Engineer, I ensure systems are robust and seamlessly efficient.
I believe good infrastructure should be invisible — it just works. My focus is on design & architecture of cloud solutions, reliability & performance engineering, and DevOps integration & automation.
When I'm not in the terminal, I'm exploring cutting-edge technologies to drive system improvements and create impactful cloud solutions.
