Portrait of Royer Ramirez Ruiz

Staff Engineer at Maven Robotics PREVIOUS_CONTEXT: RIVIAN, RAKUTEN

ENGINEERING THE STACK FOR AUTONOMY.

I turn chaotic AI and robotics systems into stable, scalable production. From B200 GPU orchestration to global Kubernetes footprints , I make silicon sweat and infrastructure boring

DevOps + MLOps Infrastructure Networking GPU Orchestration
Rack the metal. Sync the cluster. Scale the AI. Make it boring.

# TODO(royerruiz): Verify that caffeine.yaml is in the desired state (caffeinated).

I’m the engineer you call when your GPU cluster is non-existent, your network diagram is technically a rumor, and the models still needs to ship.

I build the control planes, deployment conduits, and weird little guardrails that let AI systems scale without turning every Tuesday into an incident review.

[01] EDGE & AUTONOMY

Autonomy-adjacent software and the glue that keeps physical systems running.

[02] COMPUTE & ORCHESTRATION

Architecting global Kubernetes footprints on AWS, GCP, and on-prem (Talos Linux) where immutable infrastructure is the only state.

[03] GLOBAL NETWORKING & ZERO-TRUST

Building the invisible fabric, from BGP routes to Zero-Trust security making 60k+ node environments look effortless and above all boring.
