AI Reliability Engineer & AIOps · Recife, Brazil

Magno Silva

From scalpel to code.

I spent 15 years keeping systems alive under pressure — in a 24/7 veterinary emergency hospital. Today I do the same for AI systems in production. I architect them, operate them, and make sure they don't go down.

Magno Silva — AI Reliability Engineer
The journey

A rare blend: management and engineering.

I started in veterinary medicine and spent 15 years leading the management of a hospital — people, processes, suppliers and results. I learned, hands-on, what truly drives a business.

Then I dove into AI software engineering. Today I architect systems that aren't just code — they're strategic assets. Deeply understanding both the business problem and the technical solution is what sets me apart.

"I don't just build code — I build strategic assets that evolve with the business."
Expertise

Where I create value

SRE & AIOps

Reliability engineering for AI systems in production — predictive observability, auto-remediation, and incident response. I built my own AIOps platform and run 10 SaaS products on top of it.

AI & Machine Learning

Applied AI in production — with guardrails, governance (ISO 42001) and focus on real business results, not demos.

Software Engineering

Clean, multi-tenant, genuinely tested architecture. Products that scale and evolve without becoming technical debt.

Cloud & Infrastructure

Docker, Traefik, GKE and Terraform. Observable, secure operations with fast rollback — disciplined engineering, not console-clicking.

Management & Strategy

Years leading operations, people and processes. I speak the decision-maker's language and the tech team's — and translate one into the other.

How I work

Non-negotiable principles

01. Results before code

Code is a means, not an end. Every line exists to move a business number — if it doesn't, it doesn't ship.

02. Security is not a feature

Deterministic guards where LLMs don't belong: burn rates, thresholds, and safety checks are math, not prompts. AI advises; code decides.

03. Documentation-first, audit-always

ADRs before code. Hash-chained audit trails. A scientific background makes rigor a habit, not a chore.

04. Obsession with reliability

Human-in-the-loop for anything irreversible. Surgery taught me the cost of no-return decisions — critical deploys and remediations pass a human gate.

05. Pragmatic AI, human-accountable

I use AI daily as a force multiplier — with an accountable engineer at the end of the line. I'm transparent about it because it's the future of the craft.

06. Evidence over output

Tool output is not evidence. I bring the same standard to every claim I make — proof, not promises.

What I build

Zenthrus AIOps

Before shipping any SaaS, I built the platform that keeps them alive. Zenthrus AIOps monitors, diagnoses, and fixes my 10 products in production — with local AI, human-in-the-loop, and a closed loop in under 5 minutes.
