I'm Manuel, a Systems & Infrastructure Software Engineer with over 4.5 years of experience at Meta and a Master’s in Aerospace Engineering. I specialize in high-performance C++ and Python, focusing on automated configuration frameworks, resource allocation, and distributed system reliability.
Currently relocating to Zurich, I bridge the gap between hardware-software interfaces and global-scale infrastructure, with a proven track record in leading 24/7 incident response and optimizing mission-critical systems.
- Systems & Infrastructure: Distributed systems, SLIs/SLOs (Metrics-Driven Reliability), Linux internals, and fleet-wide configuration-as-code.
- Automation & DevOps: Optimizing CI/CD pipelines, building automated data systems, and streamlining manual overhead through robust tooling.
- Operations: Expert in 24/7 incident management and deep-dive root-cause analysis (post-mortems) for global-scale infrastructure.
- Programming: Python (Automated Workflows, Tooling, Pandas, NumPy) | C++ (Performance & Systems)
- Focus Areas: System State Management | Resource Allocation | Distributed System Reliability | Infrastructure at Scale
One of my latest projects: An automated compatibility and installation script to deploy DHH's opinionated Omarchy desktop environment directly on top of a performance-optimized CachyOS system.
- Developed using Shell Scripting.
- Solves environment configuration conflicts and package mismatches (such as AUR helpers, shells, and display managers) by automating the integration line-by-line to ensure a stable, unified deployment.
