Howdy! I'm Ivan Santos, a Staff Engineer and engineering consultant based in Austin. I build platforms and AI systems that help engineering organizations move faster and operate with more confidence. I'm most useful where infrastructure, internal tooling, and difficult technical decisions meet.
At EverQuote, I work across Platform Engineering and AI Engineering. My platform work includes observability, shared AWS services, Kubernetes, Lambda, Terraform, and automated compliance. On the AI side, I've shipped production MCP servers and agentic applications used by engineers, product managers, and leadership. I also help lead AI adoption across the engineering organization.
As a consultant, I help teams clarify platform architecture, build useful internal AI tools, improve developer productivity, and make reliability work repeatable. See how I can help your team, or get in touch directly.
I was born and raised in Brazil before moving to the US, and I've worked effectively with remote teams for more than a decade. Away from the computer, I enjoy travel, finance, coffee, dancing, and volleyball.
