Hi, I'm Lauro Müller
Senior Platform & DevOps Engineer
Production-grade platform engineering with Kubernetes, Terraform, Observability, SRE, and AI. I build and fix the real systems, and I teach teams to do the same. Over the last decade I've designed and operated platforms for engineering teams at scale, including ownership of an internal AWS platform serving 50+ product teams at Thoughtworks. I take on engineering engagements, advisory work, and corporate training for teams that need depth, not buzzwords.

About Me
I'm a passionate DevOps Engineer and Cloud Architect with a knack for building scalable, efficient, and secure cloud infrastructures. My mission is to empower developers and organizations to harness the full potential of cloud technologies.
My Journey
I'm a Senior Platform and DevOps Engineer with over a decade of production experience across AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, and the broader cloud-native ecosystem. At Thoughtworks I owned an internal platform delivering policy-compliant AWS accounts to 50+ product teams, ran multi-account architecture with security and cost guardrails, and led a global Terraform and IaC training program that upskilled 300+ engineers. Earlier I delivered the platform services running on EKS for 10+ product teams, and cut compute costs by ~70% through rightsizing, scaling work, and savings plan strategy.
Alongside engineering work, I publish hands-on courses and deliver corporate training programs — including AI and DevOps engagements with teams at McKinsey and through LearnQuest. The teaching sharpens the engineering, and vice versa.
