About

I'm Ricardo Lourenço, a Consulting Architect at Red Hat focused on Kubernetes, containers, OpenShift, and cloud-native infrastructure. I enjoy building reliable systems and automating operational workflows.

My work involves designing and implementing Kubernetes operators, container security tooling, and platform engineering solutions. I'm particularly interested in the intersection of AI, developer experience, and infrastructure reliability.

I hold an MSc in Artificial Intelligence, where my research focused on applying small language models to log anomaly detection and security monitoring. I write about what I learn on this blog.
