ALEJANDRO RUIZ DEL AGUILA
8+ years building multi-cloud platforms & data-intensive systems.
From automating CI/CD pipelines to analyzing football set pieces with Poisson models — I bridge technology and sport.
About Me
DevOps & Cloud Architect
Senior DevOps/SRE with 8+ years designing cloud platforms, automating deployments, and implementing Infrastructure as Code across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
I focus on reducing operational variability between environments, improving release reliability, and strengthening traceability and security in CI/CD pipelines.
Recently pioneered GenAI-assisted operations — tool-calling workflows for incident triage, ticket summarization, and API-driven ops via Jira/Jenkins.
Football Data Scientist
Data analyst specialized in football scouting, with a Master's (Outstanding grade) from Sport Data Campus in collaboration with Sevilla FC and UCAM.
I transform event and video data into coach-facing recommendations: rival analysis, set piece modeling, and tactical KPIs using Python and SQL.
Builder of GreenPredictor — an independent football analytics project applying Poisson models and equilibrium filters to project match scenarios and reduce noise in indicators.
🎓 Also a teacher at heart — AWS re/Start Instructor at Potrero Digital, IT Instructor at New Horizons, and Assistant Professor at Universidad de Lima.

Beyond the Code
Sports Geek. Risk Taker. Dad.
I left Peru and moved to Spain chasing dreams — a risk taker by nature who believes in betting on yourself. That same energy that drives me to architect cloud platforms at scale is what pushes me to explore the unknown, whether it's a new tech stack, a new city, or a new challenge. Now I'm a proud dad, leveling up both at home and in tech — because the best deployments are the ones that keep running 24/7. 🚀
Football Fanatic
From analyzing set pieces to cheering in the stands
Gamer
Consoles, PC, and the worlds in between
Superhero Nerd
Marvel, DC — if it has a cape, I'm watching
Star Wars Universe
May the Force be with your CI/CD pipeline
Pro Wrestling Fan
Lucha libre, WWE — the drama is real to me
Explorer
Passionate about the unknown and what's next

Let's build something together
Whether you need a cloud architect, a DevOps lead, a football data analyst, or someone who can bridge all three — I'd love to connect. Open to roles in tech, sport, or wherever innovation lives.
