Resume
Stefano Schotten — Principal Infrastructure Architect
Email: s@ure.us · LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/schotten
Summary
Principal-level infrastructure leader with 20 years of end-to-end operations experience across data centers and cloud platforms—where reliability is bounded by physics (power, cooling, networks) and by change integrity. CISSP certified. Current research includes patent-pending work on predictive power conditioning for GPU clusters.
Selected outcomes
- Built and operated a Brazilian cloud service provider from founding to acquisition (2024), with full P&L accountability
- Delivered 2,000+ consecutive days of uptime while scaling infrastructure ~60×
- Reduced operational costs by ~40% while serving highly regulated enterprise workloads (healthcare, pharma, banking)
Core domains
- GPU infrastructure & high-density compute operations (NVLink, InfiniBand/RDMA patterns, fleet lifecycle)
- Facilities ↔ platform seams (site selection, MEP constraints, power quality, thermal containment, capacity planning)
- Reliability & resilience engineering (safe change, containment by design, recovery readiness)
- Measurement & observability (decision-grade telemetry; time alignment; baselines)
- Security engineering and controls (CISSP; identity/PKI and boundary controls as first-class dependencies)
- Infrastructure economics (constraints-to-dollars narratives; capex/opex tradeoffs)
