I am Elton Peixoto, a Platform and Cloud Engineer with experience in Kubernetes, AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Terraform/OpenTofu, infrastructure automation, Identity and Access Management (IAM), CI/CD, and FinOps practices.

I specialize in designing and building internal developer platforms, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and scalable, secure, and cost-efficient cloud environments. My experience includes cloud workload migrations, infrastructure automation, CI/CD pipeline design, cloud governance, and implementing solutions that enhance developer productivity and platform reliability.

Throughout my career, I have worked with technologies such as Amazon EKS, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Argo CD, GitHub Actions, Backstage, Amazon API Gateway, AWS Lambda, Go, Keycloak, Okta, Datadog, and Cloud Custodian.

As an instructor, my goal is to teach technology through practical, hands-on learning focused on real-world applications. My courses are designed for professionals who want to move beyond theory and understand how cloud, DevOps, platform engineering, and automation technologies are applied in modern production environments.

My primary areas of interest include:

Platform Engineering

DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)

Kubernetes

Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

FinOps

Observability

Cloud Automation

Software Engineering for Cloud Infrastructure

If you're looking to learn through practical examples and gain insights into the challenges and best practices of enterprise-scale cloud environments, my courses are designed to help you build those skills with confidence.
