Gus Vega — Senior DevOps and Cloud Infrastructure Automation Engineer

I design repeatable patterns for Google Cloud, Terraform, Kubernetes, and GitHub Actions so teams ship with confidence instead of clicking through portals.

Outside of engineering, I am a music producer. Search for Gus Vega on all platforms to hear what I create.

Summary

  • Terraform-based infrastructure that is easy to reason about, tested, and versioned.
  • GitHub Actions pipelines that cover plan, apply, approvals, and rollback for every environment.
  • Kubernetes and cloud-native workloads that stay secure, observable, and steady in production.
  • Experience in regulated, multi-team environments where auditability and disaster recovery matter as much as speed.

Core Focus

Cloud and platforms

  • Google Cloud Platform for Cloud Run, GKE, Composer, Cloud Storage, and IAM.
  • Azure tools like AKS, Data Factory, and Key Vault when they fit the job.

Infrastructure as code

  • Terraform modules with remote state and predictable multi-environment layouts.
  • Reusable patterns for networks, service accounts, secrets, and policies.

CI/CD and delivery

  • GitHub Actions pipelines that handle plan, apply, approvals, and rollback.
  • Compliance and policy checks built into the pipeline instead of bolted on.

Security, reliability, and operations

  • RBAC, least privilege, and secrets management with cloud-native services.
  • Monitoring and alerting so infrastructure stays observable and recoverable.

Highlights

  • Lead CI/CD and infrastructure automation across teams so releases are predictable.
  • Design Terraform patterns with remote state, tagging, and rollback baked in.
  • Build Kubernetes and cloud workloads with clear separation between environments.
  • Coach engineers on Terraform, GitHub Actions, Kubernetes, and DevOps design.

Featured GitHub Actions for Terraform on Google Cloud

Terraform Plan GCP Action

Containerized action for terraform plan with structured logs and secure JSON secrets on Google Cloud runners.

Terraform Apply GCP Action

Opinionated apply action that shares the same inputs so teams keep one pattern everywhere.

Terraform Plan and Apply GCP Action

Combined flow for pipelines that need plan and apply behavior in one step.

What I am looking for

  • Senior DevOps and platform engineering roles.
  • Cloud infrastructure automation with Terraform and Kubernetes on Google Cloud.
  • CI/CD architecture with GitHub Actions for multi-environment delivery and governance.

How I help teams

  • Standardize CI/CD and infrastructure as code so deployments become boring and repeatable.
  • Own GitHub Actions automation and Terraform deployments across dev, test, staging, and production with real audit trails.
  • Build and support Kubernetes and cloud-native workloads with secure, observable defaults.
