About David Perez

With over 15 years of experience in the information technology and services industry, I’m a seasoned Senior DevOps and Site Reliability Engineer focused on building scalable, secure, and observable infrastructure for modern applications. I specialize in Kubernetes (GKE/EKS/k3s), container orchestration, cloud-native tooling, and infrastructure as code using Terraform and Ansible.I’ve led the design and implementation of robust CI/CD pipelines, GitOps workflows with ArgoCD, and observability stacks using Prometheus, Grafana, Thanos, and Loki. My work enables engineering teams to ship software confidently with automated testing, security, and monitoring baked into the deployment lifecycle.Recently, I’ve expanded into ML/AI Ops and intelligent automation, applying Python-based pipelines to real-world edge computing and computer vision problems — including astrophotography image analysis using FITS data.Collaboration is at the core of what I do — whether it\'s aligning with platform teams, enabling developers, or mentoring junior engineers. I’m passionate about learning emerging technologies and applying them pragmatically to solve complex infrastructure and operational challenges.
