Héctor Luaces Novo
Senior Systems, Infrastructure and Reliability Engineer
Lugo, Galicia, Spain
I’m a Senior Systems Engineer at Igalia. I keep critical services running, design and build new infrastructure and interface with teams to support them and help them ship reliably. I focus on reliability, high availability, observability and developer experience. I like to help remove friction from existing workflows, pay lingering technical debt and bring SRE practices into production.
Outside of Igalia, I’m someone that was introduced to computers with videogames, and the impact they caused made me pursue this career. At some point during my high school years I discovered GNU/Linux and became fascinated with the tenets of free software.
I like games, cats, reading fantasy and sci-fi and directing RPG games. I still play and maintain muds nowadays. I also like cooking, debugging arcane issues and watching shows and movies.
