Gerardo Lucero
Platform Engineer & Solutions Architect
I architect platforms that engineering teams actually use — combining distributed systems design (Kafka, Kubernetes), security-by-default pipelines (DevSecOps across 1,200+ repositories), and Internal Developer Platforms that reduce delivery friction from days to minutes. 7+ years in fintech and retail, where 'it works' is never enough.

Platform Engineering & IDP
Internal Developer Platforms on Kubernetes — golden paths, self-service provisioning, Backstage, ArgoCD, Vault. Onboarding a new service in minutes, not days.
Distributed Systems
Event-driven architectures with Kafka and SQS. Hexagonal design, end-to-end observability with Dynatrace & Prometheus.
DevSecOps & Security
Secure CI/CD pipelines with SAST, DAST, policy-as-code and container hardening. Compliance-ready infrastructure for regulated financial environments.
