Hey, I'm Honorio – Site Reliability / DevOps Engineer

Reliability • Automation • Observability

Based in Boulder, Colorado 🏔️, I work at the intersection of infrastructure, automation, and reliability, helping teams deliver software with confidence and speed. My focus is on creating systems that scale effortlessly, recover gracefully, and empower engineers to move fast without breaking things.

A pragmatic problem-solver with a systems mindset, I bring a breadth of experience spanning cloud platforms, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, and observability. Over my career, I’ve taken projects from proof-of-concept to production-grade, bridging the gap between development and operations while championing resilient architectures and repeatable workflows.

I’m passionate about reducing toil, designing paved paths, and building a culture of ownership where reliability is everyone’s responsibility. Whether it’s crafting automation that frees up human focus, mentoring teammates in best practices, or refining deployment pipelines, I aim to create environments where people and systems can thrive together.

About me

I thrive on turning complex, moving parts into smooth-running systems that people can trust. My work blends technical problem-solving with a focus on team enablement so engineers can spend more time building and less time firefighting.

I’ve navigated projects across cloud platforms, infrastructure as code, observability stacks, and CI/CD pipelines. Along the way, I’ve learned that the most impactful systems don’t just run well, they empower developers to move independently, backed by clear documentation, smart automation, and a foundation that removes barriers and accelerates delivery.

I work by three principles:

1. Enablement by Design – Create systems, documentation, and automation that let developers work independently without bottlenecks.
2. Resilience in Every Layer – Build infrastructure that recovers gracefully, scales effortlessly, and reduces operational firefighting.
3. Clarity Over Complexity – Favor clear processes and maintainable solutions that are kind to both the operators and the codebase.

Site Reliability Engineer

Site Reliability Engineer I began my career at Uplight as an Infrastructure Intern, where I built foundational skills in managing production systems and understanding how reliability engineering supports both business and customer outcomes. Over time, I advanced into SRE I and ultimately SRE II, taking on deeper technical ownership and broader responsibilities in shaping how infrastructure was designed, automated, and maintained. My work contributed directly to infrastructure powering energy efficiency programs that reached millions of customers. Day to day, I focused on building automation, infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines, and observability practices. These efforts reduced toil, standardized deployments, and enabled engineering teams to ship changes more confidently. In addition to delivering technical improvements, I emphasized enablement, creating paved paths, writing documentation, and designing workflows that allowed developers to operate more independently and rely less on centralized SRE/DevOps intervention. This work helped balance speed and stability, ensuring that products could evolve without introducing unnecessary risk. By combining hands-on system improvements with a culture of enablement, I helped Uplight scale its engineering practices and create a foundation that supported both developer autonomy and long-term platform resilience.

At Uplight, I engineered infrastructure that powered energy programs reaching millions of customers. My work centered on building resilient systems, scaling cloud environments, and removing friction from development workflows. Through thoughtful automation and proactive operations, I created a foundation where products could evolve quickly without sacrificing stability.
