02. ACADEMIA & BACKGROUND

ABOUT GLEISON

~/about/gleison_pires.md

High-Performance Computing Researcher & Senior Cloud Architect

Based in São Paulo, Brazil, I work as a Senior Cloud Solutions Architect at Compass UOL and am pursuing my Master's Degree (MSc) in Computer Science and Computational Mathematics at the prestigious University of São Paulo (USP - ICMC).

My academic research evaluates performance portability in High-Performance Computing (HPC) using modern C++ abstractions like Kokkos and RAJA on NVIDIA GPU architectures (Ada Lovelace). In the corporate landscape, I design complex multi-cloud solutions (AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI) with automated DevSecOps pipelines and FinOps cost reduction practices.
