About me
👋 glad you want to know something more about me!
I’m an IT professional with more than 25 years of experience in different roles ultimately focusing on highly available infrastructures and observability. Recent responsibilities include:
- define and implement Observability solutions to support internal stakeholders requirements, provide a central (single pane of glass) observability platform across multiple data centers/cloud regions and data types (metrics, logs and traces),
- defining and help adopting a modern incident response workflow and related activities (debriefing, postmortems, roles, etc),
- performing software (self hosted or SaaS) selection for the three pillars of observability with specific adoption process,
- standardize, document, onboard and support current and future solutions including migrations between platforms,
- implement (infrastructure|configuration)-as-code for all supported platforms,
- hiring process to find good talents for the observability team.
Specialties and past activities (summary):
- Senior consultant and integrator (with extensive experience of best-of-breed integration between open source and closed source solutions for observability)
- Solution architect and project management
- Cloud solutions on AWS, Azure, Openstack
Abilities and attitudes:
- passion for IT!
- accurate, willing to mentor others, very open to learn new things
- good problem solving and communication skills (writing documents, clear information transmission)
- I like to push forward: constantly testing my knowledge and methods to be sure that I am using/providing the best solutions possible
Tools and technologies (to serve as icebreakers as in “PyCharm is better than VS Code”, 😉):
- Elastic / Grafana / Prometheus stacks
- Kubernetes (AKS, EKS)
