DevOps software engineer; passionate about software, hardware and digital arts

📜 About me

I am a software engineer passionate about my work and about IT in general.
I currently hold the position of DevOps engineer in Aruba (where I work as a consultant on behalf of Global Sistemi Srl) and work in a team of 7 people in which I play a role of mid-level responsibility.

I have 5 years of experience in software engineering and spent part of my career in France, where I worked for two and a half years as a back-end Java developer at Orange SA in Sophia-Antipolis. During this employment, I became interested in some DevOps tools, which is why I later moved into this area.

I often attend online courses to keep up to date on technologies that interest me. Among my official certifications is the OCA Java 8 certification, which I obtained on 28/12/2018.

In addition to the professional IT world, I also dedicate myself to IT in a hobbyist mode, performing activities ranging from repairing, maintaining and upgrading PCs (both assembling and replacing components and software), to creating visual content (video and photo editing, creating business cards and posters).

My academic career has been focused on economics, but in the last years of university, I nurtured an ever-growing interest in IT.
Therefore, I combined my university education with training through online courses (MOOCs) on topics firstly in the area of data analysis and quantitative analysis (which I used for my theses and research at university) and then on programming basics (which made me get closer and more passionate about the world of software engineering).

Main topics: DevOps, CI/CD, GitLab, Git, Docker, Kubernetes, Nexus Repository, JFrog Artifactory, DockerHub, PowerShell, Pester, Bash, Windows Server, Linux, SVN, Java, Maven, Node.js, NPM, .NET, AWS, SonarQube.

👩🏽‍🚀 Projects

I have some ongoing and completed projects, ranging from some projects on GitHub to video edits on YouTube.
Therefore, here is my YouTube Channel.

🏆 Accomplishments

The accomplishments I consider most relevants to me are when I succeed in explaining something to one of my colleagues or my peers.
