About

I build infrastructure that makes teams faster and write smart contracts that auditors call “a work of art.” Over 15 years, I’ve worked across the stack: DevOps and platform engineering at Sauce Labs (25% faster automated tests, led on-prem to GCP migration), engineering management (reduced release cycles from 2 weeks to 1 day), and Web3 development (recovered $50K in compromised assets during a live security incident using flashbots). What I do well: → Infrastructure & CI/CD: Terraform, Kubernetes, AWS, GCP—I’ve enabled 12 dev teams to adopt CI and automated deployments to 200+ retail locations → Engineering Leadership: Built a team culture that “continues to thrive even after moving on” → Web3 & Smart Contracts: Solidity, Hardhat, Foundry, security analysis with Slither/Mythril Currently consulting in the Bitcoin Ordinals ecosystem. US citizen based in Santiago, Chile, looking for my next remote role. Let’s talk: jo.venturaz@gmail.com
