Hi!¶
Who am I?¶
My name is Teo Sibileau. This is my Linkedin.
I'm a python developer with almost 20 years of experience architecting and scaling backend systems, particularly with Django and PostgreSQL. Proven track record across domains like satellite tasking, media platforms, and large-scale infrastructure migrations.
I'm based near El Bolsón, Río Negro, deep within the Argentinian Andes. I live with my wife and our 10 year old.
My life is split between my family, my work and a many other interests among which: training and playing rugby, building infrastructure for my farm & everything about the guitar. I document a lot of this on Instagram.

SlickMining Apr 2024 - Present¶
Worked with SlickMining on the development of custom tools to support and streamline Bitcoin mining operations, with an emphasis on open-source contributions. The goal was to create reliable, reusable components to interface with various mining firmware platforms.
Developed Python libraries to integrate with AntMiner devices and interact with mining firmware such as LuxOS and Braiins OS. These tools enabled more efficient monitoring, control, and automation of mining hardware.
Sonder Aug 2023 - Feb 2024¶
Contributed to backend development for Sonder.com’s revenue management systems, focusing on pricing and availability. Migrated availability window logic and consolidated state handling for collections of units to enable more flexible inventory control. Updated the dynamic pricing engine to incorporate the new availability model, improving the accuracy and responsiveness of rate adjustments.

Satellogic Feb 2019 - Apr 2023¶
Contributed to the design, development, and long-term maintenance of a mission planning system that allowed non-technical users to simulate, schedule, and deploy imaging tasks to Earth observation satellites. Migrated legacy systems and consolidated historical data into the new platform, enabling seamless transition and self-service planning capabilities for sales and internal users.
Maintained complex tasking state in a high-latency environment, reconciling planned activity with execution evidence from orbit, and implementing automated re-planning for failed image captures due to quality issues (e.g. cloud cover, blur). Collaborated with satellite operations and frontend teams to ensure accurate state sync and system reliability.
Led the phased migration of the system from Azure to AWS, including transitions of storage (to S3), message queues (to SQS), task workers, and databases (via DMS replication and cutover with minimal downtime). Worked closely with DevOps to adapt Helm charts and CI/CD pipelines to support dual-cloud operation during the transition.

Infoxel (Now Seenka) Feb 2018 - Oct 2018¶
Backend developer for welo.tv, a Django-based platform that combines a powerful web video editor with tools for distributing and monetizing premium content across news portals. Contracted to help scale the delivery of videos ahead of the 2018 FIFA World Cup to support increased traffic and media demand. Built and maintained core backend services, developed RESTful APIs for a decoupled frontend, and optimized performance to ensure reliable, high-throughput video workflows and integrations with media partners.

Buenos Aires City Goverment Feb 2011 - Nov 2013¶
Contracted to introduce Drupal as the content management solution for buenosaires.gob.ar. Began working on-site in early 2011, transitioning to a remote role by January 2012. Led training efforts for non-PHP developers (and myself) to build internal Drupal expertise. By 2013, successfully migrated 100% of city content to the Drupal platform, with integrated search powered by Apache Solr.
Developed the first functional prototype of a city-wide OpenID-based SSO system, integrating numerous internal government SOAP services to provide citizens with unified access to government services and personal data. This system laid the groundwork for what later became miArgentina.
Collaborated closely with the city’s in-house IT department to introduce Ansible as a provisioning tool and helped design secure, streamlined deployment processes aligned with municipal standards.

SibileauLang 2003 - Feb 2011¶
During the golden era of Flash apps, I founded, managed, and eventually closed a two-person web design studio focused on building interactive web experiences. Most of the work involved crafting portfolio sites for artists and fulfilling contract work for media agencies looking for visually rich, custom-built solutions.
Development centered on building Flash applications and websites using ActionScript, with backend integration powered by the Django framework and the easymode library. This approach allowed for seamless content management behind highly dynamic interfaces.
Thank you Steve for 'Thoughts on Flash'. No pun intended at all.
