Software & Platform Engineer

Building resilient infrastructure at scale

Brandon Recinos

With fifteen years of engineering experience, I specialize in the intersection of DevOps, cloud security, and Site Reliability Engineering. As a Principal Platform Engineer, my work centers on building automated, scalable multi-cloud architectures across AWS and OCI environments.

I am a Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) who enjoys diving deep into the Kubernetes ecosystem. Whether I am orchestrating global deployments with ArgoCD, enforcing guardrails with OPA Gatekeeper, or writing custom controllers in Go and Python, I focus on creating robust infrastructure.

My passion for platform engineering extends beyond the enterprise. When I'm not using Terraform to build comprehensive Infrastructure as Code (IaC) environments or designing secure service meshes, you can usually find me tinkering with my Raspberry Pi K3s homelab.
