About

I’m Filipe, a Forward Deployed Engineer at Supermodular AI. The company re-architects enterprise IT and software organizations for the future way of working, with forward deployed teams that embed inside the customer’s real systems and workflows and ship to production. I’m one of the people who gets embedded.

Before that I led the Kubernetes team at Millennium bcp, Portugal’s largest privately owned bank. Running clusters for a bank left me with firm opinions about platform engineering and reliability, and I haven’t lost them.

Kubernetes is now what I do in my spare time. Lately that means building AI agents that operate clusters and finding out how far I trust them with kubectl. That work is mine, done on my own time, and has nothing to do with my employer.

The blog covers both. On the FDE side I write about the craft: working inside a customer’s team, getting from prototype to production. You won’t find client stories or company internals there. On the Kubernetes side I write up what the agents did and the platform lessons behind it.

I speak at community events, including “Highly Available, Barely Running” at KCD Porto × DevOps Days Portugal and the Azure & AI User Group Portugal.

I’m Portuguese and split my time between Madeira and Lisbon. On the side I root old hardware and 3D print things, some of them useful.
