I build infrastructure products and Rust systems for cloud platforms, observability, runtime security, AI operations, and developer tooling.

Senior software engineer at Hopper, Builder behind Guara Cloud, AWS Certified Solutions Architect, and homelab operator using real clusters as a proving ground for product ideas.

I write field notes, technical essays, and project logs at blog.victorbona.dev.

• Guara Cloud - Brazilian PaaS for fast, predictable container deployments with BRL billing.
• blog.victorbona.dev - my writing, papers, project notes, and systems archive.
• Purple Wolf - fast, low-memory Traefik WAF built in Rust and WASM, with conservative benchmark evidence.
• E-Navigator - Rust and eBPF signal plane for Linux and Kubernetes observability, profiling, runtime security, and diagnostics.
• Tentacle - Kubernetes-native control plane for AI model artifacts, verification, cache policy, and runtime export layouts.
• Gromaq - GPU-rendered, performance-first terminal emulator foundation in Rust.
• Nidus - modular Rust backend framework inspired by NestJS ergonomics, built on Axum, Tower, and Tokio.

• Guara Cloud - Kubernetes-native PaaS for predictable container deployments, managed services, observability, backups, and BRL billing.
• Guara Cloud Playground
  • hello-world examples for the frameworks and languages supported by Guara Cloud.
• SQLTemple - AI-powered SQL IDE built with Electron, React, and TypeScript.

• Purple Wolf - Rust and WASM Traefik WAF with signed releases, SBOMs, Helm/Kustomize packaging, and benchmark documentation.
• E-Navigator - Rust/eBPF signal plane for Linux and Kubernetes observability, profiling, runtime security, and diagnostics.
• Tentacle - Kubernetes-native AI model artifact control plane for pinned source revisions, verification, cache policy, and runtime export layouts.
• Gromaq - GPU-rendered terminal emulator foundation in Rust, focused on correctness, performance, PTYs, and renderer boundaries.

• Nidus - modular Rust backend framework inspired by NestJS ergonomics and built on Axum, Tower, Tokio, typed providers, controllers, guards, OpenAPI, jobs, and testing helpers.
• Victor Bona Blog - my Next.js/MDX writing system for essays, papers, projects, and public notes.
• Codebase Guy - chat with multiple codebases more easily.
• Botcrew - Kubernetes-native deployment orchestrator for autonomous AI agents.
• Agent Skills - agent skills for deploying and managing apps on Guara Cloud.

• SaaS Starter Template
  • opinionated Next.js 15, Supabase, Stripe, Tailwind, and shadcn/ui starter.
• DataTide - Node.js library for processing large datasets with worker threads.
• Oh My GPT - ZSH plugin for interacting with ChatGPT from the terminal.
• Agent Buddy - CLI-based ReAct agent for local terminal workflows.
• Pylexitext - Python library for NLP, text analysis, content conversion, and related utilities.
• Data Science - notes and studies around data science, machine learning, and AI.

I work where product pressure meets systems engineering:

• Cloud platforms: Kubernetes control planes, container deployment, managed services, tenant isolation, billing, logs, metrics, and GitOps.
• Runtime visibility: node-local agents, eBPF sources, signal envelopes, low-cardinality metrics, traces, profiles, and proof-boundary discipline.
• Security infrastructure: request inspection, WASM plugins, signed webhook delivery, benchmark methodology, and supply-chain release surfaces.
• AI operations: model artifact identity, pinned revisions, content-addressed storage, verification, cache retention, and runtime export.
• Developer tools: terminals, CLI workflows, backend frameworks, SQL tools, and agent-assisted development systems.

My blog is where I turn the work into something easier to inspect: architecture notes, founder logs, homelab writeups, product decisions, and deep technical essays.

• blog.victorbona.dev - website, projects, papers, and public notes.
• Topics I usually write about: infrastructure, Rust, Kubernetes, observability, homelab systems, AI tooling, SaaS, and product engineering.

• Shipping Guara Cloud as a pragmatic cloud platform for Brazilian builders.
• Building Rust-native systems for observability, security, AI infrastructure, and developer experience.
• Using my homelab as a live environment for cluster operations, reliability work, and product validation.
• Publishing more of the engineering trail through the blog, papers, and project documentation.
