About Me
Alex Martínez
Principal Platform Engineer
My Story
I’m a Principal Platform Engineer focused on keeping SaaS revenue safe: uptime, performance, and predictable delivery.
Over the last decade (fintech + B2B), I’ve designed cloud architectures on AWS/Azure, built Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, and shipped safe CI/CD (blue/green and canary) with zero-downtime releases.
I bring observability and FinOps discipline to reduce incidents and cloud spend — so your team can stop firefighting and start shipping features.
Philosophy
Reliability is a product feature. I build platforms with clear SLOs, measurable outcomes, and automation that prevents regressions.
What Drives Me
Reliability First
Uptime, latency, and release safety are non-negotiable.
Cost-Aware Engineering
Architecture that scales without surprise AWS/Azure bills.
Automation & Clarity
IaC, CI/CD, observability, and runbooks that make ops boring.
Education
Degree in Computer Engineering
Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC)
