My name is Azgad García Zúñiga, but the bandita calls me Az for short and because it’s hard to pronounce my name lol, and I have a nickname acquired since I was young which is “poshox” which I decided to keep just for nostalgia.
With 12+ years of experience, I have studies in computer science (bachelors and masters) and at some point I plan to finally do my PhD in the same.
I really enjoy solving any engineering or product problem I can, as well as helping people solve theirs, always thinking that I wish I had had someone like that when I was aimless in my early years.
I’ve been Head of SRE and Head of Engineering, and have worked across industries like fintech (at scale — ~1,500 engineers, ~3,000 microservices), healthcare and retail. My areas of expertise are Cloud, DevOps, Platform Engineering, Chaos Engineering and SRE, though I’ve also worked as a Software Developer, DBA and SysAdmin. Day to day I work with Kubernetes, Go, AWS, Terraform/Terragrunt, ArgoCD and GitOps in general.
My career thesis: every company is a tech company, some just haven’t accepted it yet.
I contribute to open source — Backstage community plugins and internal tools that end up becoming their own projects. Lately I’ve been exploring local LLM inference and AI infrastructure.
I currently work as Principal Engineer and provide external consulting on any of the other topics. 🚀
When I’m not in the terminal, I’m probably tinkering with my homelab — Proxmox, Talos Linux, UniFi networking, VLANs, BGP… it’s probably more complex than some production environments I’ve seen.
Based in Guadalajara, México. Find me as @ElPoshoX everywhere.
This blog covers platform engineering, DevOps, SRE, IaC, and whatever technical rabbit hole I fall into.
