About

Who am I?

I’m Frederico Marques (Fred), currently Staff Software Engineer (Platform Observability) at Forter (London office).

I’ve worked with both Runa (previously WeGift), Signal AI as a Lead Site Reliability Engineer and with ThoughtWorks as a Senior Infrastructure Developer/DevOps ( London office). Previously worked in UK, Ireland and Portugal with SaaS, software and telecommunication companies ( Zimbra, VMware, Workday, Sonaecom, Oni and FCCN) as a consultant, systems and security engineer.

What do I write about?

Technology: most of it related to my professional experience. I’m particular interested in cloud technologies, platform as a product, Observability, SRE Culture (Everything Fails. All the time.) and technical leadership.

Books and music: stuff that I’m reading/listening or I think it’s worth to mention.

Contact and social media

I can be found at X (formerly known as Twitter), Mastodon, LinkedIn, and GitHub. You can reach out directly to me at fred at fmarques.org, although I may be slow to respond.
