Technical Journey

cat about — Alexandre Ponce

Twenty years digging infrastructure from the ground up. Started in 2005 at critical support in Speedy (Telefônica), moved through massive scale at UOL/UOL Host, and evolved to architect high-availability environments. I'm not a generic consultant — I specialize in designing robust solutions, executing critical migrations (VMware → Proxmox VE), and delivering infrastructure ready to perform.

My true obsession is the Homelab — this constant immersion, building and breaking technologies, is what forged me as a specialist. It allows me to bring innovation to SMBs without vendor lock-in. Away from the servers: I build 3D projects in my maker workshop, work with woodworking, and explore off-road trails on weekends — hobbies that keep the mind sharp and away from screens.
