Summary
Robin Aguilar is a Production Engineer with six years of hands-on experience in Site Reliability and Production Engineering, currently based in Houston, TX. He specializes in cloud-native infrastructure, automation, and cost-optimized migrations—having migrated services to Kubernetes (EKS), shifted workloads to ARM to cut costs by ~40%, and implemented HPA across services.

He has strong incident response and load-testing chops from supporting high-traffic publication platforms and Coral commenting clusters.
