👋 Hey, I'm Unai Rada Dafonte

I'm a Backend / Systems / DevOps Engineer with over 4 years of experience designing and automating scalable infrastructure across cloud-native and hybrid environments. I'm passionate about enabling AI/ML workflows, building robust CI/CD pipelines, and pushing the limits of what reliable systems can do.


🚀 Current Focus

  • Building resilient backend systems with CI/CD and GitOps workflows
  • Automating cloud infrastructure with Terraform, Ansible, and Kubernetes
  • Develop and optimize search systems using tools like Typesense, OpenSearch, and vector embeddings
  • Design robust APIs and backend services for real-time apps, chatbots, and e-commerce platforms
  • Empowering data science teams with scalable, secure AI platforms
  • Observability and monitoring across hybrid environments with Prometheus, Grafana and the ELK stack
  • Exploring search engineering, large language models (LLMs), and backend optimization

💼 Experience Highlights
