Work Experience

This overview encapsulates my hands-on experience in software engineering, illustrating a dedicated and ever-evolving journey within the tech industry.

Software Engineer (2017-2022) • Solveit

My journey began at Solveit, where I embraced the role of a back-end engineer, diving into the world of desktop application development. I harnessed the power of .NET, grounding my skills in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). As the years unfolded, my quest for knowledge led me to explore new languages, technologies and methodologies significantly enhancing my expertise. I ventured into designing event-driven architectures with Kafka and developing robust API back-end services. This period marked my foray into the DevOps and automation sphere, where I mastered Docker and Kubernetes. Applying these skills, with the team, it has been revolutionized the software release process, optimizing pipeline and branch management strategies on Azure DevOps, thereby elevating the software engineering department's productivity and efficiency.

Team Leader (2022-2023) • Avanade

At Avanade, I worked in the DevOps engineering department and served as a team leader on two key projects for Italian governmental entities. My responsibilities included creating Azure infrastructure using Terraform, assisting the team in developing back-end services with Azure Functions .NET and managing git repositories using Azure Pipelines for automation and deployment. With the managers, fully remote teams were led throughout Italy. Agile methodologies were implemented and Gantt charts were utilized for effective project management and scheduling of activities. By maintaining continuous communication, it was ensured that efforts were aligned with project milestones and client needs. This approach not only improved project efficiency but also significantly enhanced client satisfaction and team productivity.

DevOps Engineer (2023-Now) • Aruba

My fascination for the DevOps Engineering inspired a full transition from software engineering to a dedicated DevOps role. This shift required reevaluating operational methodologies, diving deep into the essence of the DevOps. I'm embarking on a specialization journey focusing on kubernetes, ArgoCD, Helm, docker, pipeline CI/CD, automations and the development of custom microservices tailored for cloud automation and process optimization. The mission, as DevOps Engineer, is to support the software engineering teams throughout the software release process, introducing smarter and more automated methodologies to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.

Just For Fun (2012-Now) • About me

In 2012, my foray into computer science began with simple curiosity about tech systems. What was a childhood fascination has grown into my career as a software and DevOps engineer. I'm passionate about engaging in hackathons, advancing open-source projects and empowering startups with foundational tech architecture. Continually honing my skills in cloud, DevOps and backend development, I dedicate myself to improving software quality and operational efficiency. My commitment to lifelong learning and technical excellence is the cornerstone of my professional ethos. If you are interested in finding out more visit the about me section.
