Andre Silva

I'm a Senior Platform Engineer with a background in academia.

I've been a high-school teacher and a History of Science researcher before starting a new career as a web developer in 2016. Shortly after that, in 2018, I joined Particle41 as a DevOps Fellow and begun a journey through the cloud-native landscape of modern software development. I've been helping clients level-up their DevOps game in AWS and other public clouds since then.

I'm a 5x AWS-certified Software Engineer and DevOps advocate with 7+ years of experience architecting and managing scalable cloud infrastructure for clients across Europe and the United States, as a specialist in Terraform, Kubernetes, and CI/CD automation. Having started my career outside IT, I bring more than 15 years total experience in remote roles, excelling at end-to-end project ownership, complex troubleshooting, and fostering a culture of technical excellence through mentorship and clear communication.
