Summary
Fernando Calleja is a Lead Site Reliability Engineer with 14 years of hands-on experience building and operating resilient infrastructure for product-focused companies like 37signals, Basecamp and HEY. He progressed from DevOps and SRE roles to lead infrastructure teams, combining pragmatic ops instincts with long-term reliability and scalability work. Based in the Valencian Community, he pairs a formal Computer Science background with a master's in Cities and Urbanism, reflecting curiosity beyond tech and an eye for systems-thinking at different scales. An active open-source maintainer at OscillatingWorks, he favors simple, maintainable tooling over flash — and, despite LinkedIn endorsements, he’s clear he’s not a Java developer. Colleagues describe him as someone who reliably turns operational chaos into predictable systems while keeping product needs central.
