Allan Roy Balderama

Cloud & Solutions Architect · Cloud Engineer

I design the systems that keep a pan-European healthcare platform running — Azure infrastructure, Kubernetes, and the pipelines and observability that hold it all together. Day to day that means juggling several projects at once: debugging containers, tuning deployment plans, and reaching for Terraform to package and ship .NET, Python, Java, Node.js, or a quick Bash automation script — whatever the job in front of me needs.

Architect of running systems

I'm a Cloud & Solutions Architect with 14+ years in the industry. I came up as a hands-on developer across Java, .NET, Python, and Node.js — and that engineering background is what I now bring to infrastructure and architecture. Today I lead infrastructure operations and architectural design for a pan-European healthcare platform at SYNLAB International.

I like the parts most people avoid: scaling cloud-native architectures, tightening delivery pipelines, and untangling the infrastructure problems that only show up under real load. Still close to the code — I move fluently between application development and the platforms that run it. More detail lives on LinkedIn.
