My name is Thomas Palma, a Software Developer from Brazil 🇧🇷 with 4 years of professional experience, currently focused on DevOps.
Throughout my career, I have primarily focused on developing back-end applications and architecting RESTful APIs, building reliable and well-structured systems. During this time, I worked closely with process automation, delivery pipelines, and Linux production environments, which naturally exposed me to DevOps practices.
My hands-on experience includes creating and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, containerizing applications with Docker, implementing operational automation, and providing production system support, with a focus on reducing manual errors, enhancing reliability, and establishing predictable delivery workflows.
Daily exposure to infrastructure, deployments, and automation shaped my interest in DevOps. Currently, my studies and personal projects focus on Infrastructure as Code methodologies, containers, cloud platforms, and modern continuous delivery practices, with the goal of working as a DevOps Engineer and eventually evolving into a DevSecOps professional.
I value collaborative environments, organization, automation, and continuous learning, and I strongly believe that well-designed systems should be not only functional but also easy to operate, scale, and maintain.
Here are the technologies I use most often. While I have worked with additional tools, these are the ones I currently rely on the most.
