Thiago M.

Senior Full-Stack Engineer | AI Apps & Agents | Cloud & DevOps Expert

I build AI-powered applications, full-stack software, and custom AI agents. I also help companies fix, improve, and launch existing applications, including those built with AI coding tools. Building software is only part of the challenge. Getting it ready for real users requires experienced engineering, from reviewing code and fixing critical issues to securing the infrastructure, deploying reliably, and keeping the application running as it grows. With 20+ years of technical experience, including 10+ years specializing in Cloud & DevOps, I combine hands-on software development with deep production engineering expertise. I can take a project from development to deployment and ongoing support, bringing both application and infrastructure expertise to the work.

My career began in backend development before I specialized in Cloud & DevOps. I'm also the founder of EZOps Cloud, a US-based engineering company that has supported 500+ businesses since 2016. At EZOps, I lead the development of ACE, our AI-powered software development platform, combining AI agents, software engineering, and cloud infrastructure and working with real codebases, integrations, and infrastructure. I'm the author of The Cloud DevOps Engineer's Guide, where I share engineering practices developed throughout my career. My approach starts with understanding your goals, reviewing existing code or infrastructure, and defining a practical plan before making changes. Clear communication, reliable delivery, and long-term maintainability are priorities throughout the project. 👉 Need to build, fix, or launch an application?
