Nice to meet you 👋 — I'm

Gabriel Alvarado.

I do Cloud and Automation

I’m a Cloud and Automation Engineer based in Costa Rica. I specialize in containerized infrastructure management, deployments and migrations, and all things automation. Oh, and I’m also a musician 🎶

About Me

Technology, music and teaching — that’s what I love. As a Cloud & Automation Engineer, I work with IaC frameworks, containerized applications, scripting, automation tools and CI/CD environments to streamline infrastructure and make things run smoothly.

Beyond coding, I have a deep passion for explaining complex ideas in a simple way. There’s me on the left teaching a class on networking! I’ve also taught classes around Azure, Docker, and I even was a flute instructor for a while!

Outside of work, I’m always exploring all sorts of music (the more complex the better), playing the flute, guitar, and I’m currently learning the Bansuri and Duduk.

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
  • Kubernetes
  • Docker
  • Terraform
  • Ansible and AWS/Tower
  • Azure, GCP and a bit of AWS
  • Python and Bash for scripting
  • RPA (mainly UiPath)
  • Linux environments
  • Virtualization (Azure, GCP, Proxmox)

Education
