Paulo Jerônimo’s Résumé

I am Paulo Jerônimo, a Full Stack Developer with many years of experience acting as a DevOps Engineer and SRE. With one of the DevOps practices, CI/CD, my first contact was in 2011 using Hudson (renamed later to Jenkins). Nowadays, I also have experience in setting pipelines with GitHub Actions or AWS CodePipeline. But, this contact is much more recent than my experience with Linux (since 1993) or as a Java developer (since 1998).

So, related to programming in Java on Linux environments and automating steps using Shell Script, my corporative tasks started in 2002 (in this job). During that time, I made many middleware installations/ configurations and implementation of components on servers (like Apache, Tomcat, and JBoss).

Between 2003 and 2007, I partnered with a Brazilian training company offering architecture and software development consultancy. I provided excellent Java and XML courses to Brazilian market companies in this partnership. This and a deep understanding of middleware allowed me to act as an expert JBoss specialist in Red Hat and teach official JBoss courses through this company.

In 2008, I accepted another big challenge. I started to program in Python while also applying my knowledge in Bash to use these tools for automating server installations and application component deployments. At that time, I was responsible for monitoring and analyzing logs and problems in a production environment for applications running in middlewares like Tomcat, JBoss, Apache, and Ngnix. I acted preemptively by using monitoring tools (JON, Nagios, and Zabbix) and reviewing logs. Nowadays, if needed, I could use Prometheus, Grafana, and Dynatrace to do such a job. When failures occurred, I was responsible for using tools to identify memory leaks and performance bottlenecks. I proactively interact with development, infrastructure, and operations teams. From that year onwards, I work in DevOps or SRE tasks on servers of private companies or the government. (Read more on this links: CNPq, TRF-1, Caixa, STN).

I started to use and develop Docker containers in 2014 when I spoke about it at JUDCon (a Red Hat event).

In 2015, I returned to work as Software Architect with more luggage in Java EE, infrastructure, DevOps, and SRE. I used Vagrant in the automation of many environments and also to set up clusters and test labs of performance. Nowadays, I prefer Docker or Linux Containers for this, but sometimes, I still use Vagrant to provision virtual machines that I create using KVM in my development environment. With Vagrant, in addition to making advanced use of Bash for provisioning, I learned to program in Ruby and to use Puppet and Ansible. Nowadays, to assemble an entire infrastructure in a cloud, I use my CLI tool or Terraform (similar to Vagrant but different in purposes).

In 2016 (working for Red Hat), I was responsible for upgrading dozens of JBoss servers on large companies (B3 and Previ). This also involved updating the Java code of several applications. I improved my skills in computer security issues such as OpenSSL, JWT, OAuth, and Keycloak (or RH-SSO - the version supported by Red Hat). In addition, I learned a lot about Kubernetes and OpenShift.

In 2017, I published videos about it and worked with its installation, configuration, and deployment of microservices. Nowadays, I quickly install Kubernetes in a cloud (via EKS or AKS) or even in Linux Containers. I learned Amazon Web Services (AWS) (IAM, EC2, and S3, via CLI) and Microsoft Azure. I created validator nodes for Bitcoin and Ethereum to study them in the latter.

In 2018, I gained more experience in security and microservices with Spring Boot running on CloudFoundry (working for Thales in Lisbon). I did some technical comparisons between Keycloak and UAA. I started working with some tools for Big Data, such as Spring Cloud Stream and Apache NiFi.

In 2019, I returned to Brazil and started a career more focused on Web3 as a Full Stack Developer in my own business.

In 2020, while working in partnership with a Linux company in Brazil, I improved on OpenStack and recorded videos about it. During this partnership, I also solved a severe problem for a law firm with Passbolt installed on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Nowadays, regarding GCP, I also use Firebase. In a contract with another employer (ília), I worked for a company (Caixa Seguradora) using OpenShift and RH-SSO in an even more specialized way. I was responsible for gluing their applications to Keycloak while, at the same time, building components and customizations to it. Also, in that job, I started to work with Kafka.

In 2021, I specialized even more in AWS services. I developed an event-driven project for OSO DevOps involving, in addition to standard services, Chalice, Lambda, Kinesis, and EKS. Nowadays, I use TypeScript and CDK for IaC.

So this is my whole story. I can now act in public or on-premise clouds. My current focus has been chiefly on using Amazon Web Services (AWS), but as I said, I also have occasional experiences with Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
