Yaiser Avila Rodríguez
Site Reliability Eng. & Biologist
SRE with 5+ years of experience and a biology background, specialising in Kubernetes at scale, GitOps, cost optimisation, and SRE automation. Currently a Site Reliability Engineer (since Jul 2024) in a cloud-native streaming-analytics environment, working on multi-cloud Kubernetes production fleets across AWS, GCP, and other providers. Delivered fleet-wide cost optimisation, end-to-end GitOps adoption, and a progressive delivery platform that replaced weeks of manual release coordination with automated, health-gated rollouts.
Key Highlights
▸ Fleet-wide VPA rollout delivered significant compute cost reductions
▸ GitOps adoption from scratch — production fleet under ArgoCD continuous delivery
▸ Progressive delivery platform — weeks of manual coordination → automated rollouts
▸ Observability coverage across previously unmonitored production environments
▸ Automated OOM remediation — eliminates recurring on-call toil
▸ EMEA on-call & incident command for high-severity production events
▸ 27% AWS cost reduction at Triggle Spain
▸ 82.5% extended support cost cut (EKS 1.24→1.29 upgrade)
▸ Zero-cost on-call platform — Grafana OnCall replaced paid UptimeRobot
Latest IT Experiences
Site Reliability Engineer — Hydrolix
Cloud-native streaming analytics platform. Drove a fleet-wide Vertical Pod Autoscaler rollout — phased, region-gated execution delivered significant compute cost reductions. Led company-wide GitOps adoption from scratch — production Kubernetes clusters and applications brought under ArgoCD continuous delivery, with substantial reductions in per-cluster change time. Co-built a fleet-wide progressive delivery platform on ArgoCD + Kustomize + Argo Workflows, replacing weeks of manual release coordination with automated, health-gated rollouts. Deployed Prometheus observability across previously unmonitored production environments. Built automated OOM remediation. Owned EMEA on-call and incident command for high-severity production events including major live broadcasts. Sustained high-volume contribution across code and technical documentation.
