Surviving Crypto Volatility – How to Build Resilient Infrastructure
Platform / Reliability Engineer at Uphold.
As a Platform/Reliability Engineer at Uphold, I focus on platform stability, scalability, and performance, leading initiatives that strengthen system reliability and robustness. I’m a strong believer in culture and teamwork, supporting team success by refining and automating processes to enhance collaboration, efficiency, and delivery.
I hold a BSc+MSc in Informatics and Computing Engineering from the Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto. Outside of work, I value continuous learning, fitness, and a balanced lifestyle — whether that’s enjoying the beach, lifting weights and blasting heavy metal music.
