Ivan Rodriguez

Software engineer by trade, tester by instinct, platform engineer by evolution.

I help engineers spend less time fighting tooling and more time building — through better CI/CD, developer experience, and automation.

Outside work: sci-fi books, anime, and automating anything I have to do more than twice. The last one is both a hobby and a professional hazard.
