As Cloud Architect, I am continuously involved in designing new cloud services based on the AWS platform for internal use as well for external customers, exploring all possible AWS services that best fit business and technological needs.This experience gave me the opportunity to deepen my knowledge of the most common AWS services (EC2, Autoscaling, VPC, ELB, IAM, S3, CloudFront, CloudWatch, Route53, ECS, ECR, Elastic Beanstalk) and proficiently orchestrating them to build and deploy Lightstreamer and MQTT.Cool based solutions.At the same time, I have also strongly improved my DevOps skills since I lead the design and implementation of CI/CD workflows (leveraging AWS tools such as CodeCommit, CodeBuild, CodePipeline, CloudFormation) based on Infrastructure as code (IaC) approach.

IT Specialist

• Jun 2002 - Oct 2014

During my experience in IBM, I have covered different roles, from IT Specialist to IT Architect, from Demand Manager to Solution Architect. At the beginning of my career, I was strongly focused on mobile development, long before the iOS/Android became widely adopted, creating applications for fleet management. Afterward, I was involved in a long-term project for the Italian Railway Company, where I had the opportunity to deepen both my soft and hard skills. As Developer Team leader, I led the design and development of an "on-board" mobile application, used by the traveling on-board operator for checking the validity of customers' tickets. The application was initially developed as a standalone java application running on old Windows Mobile phones. Then I led the migration to the (at that time) new Android platform while keeping a long phase-out period. As Lead Architect, I led the design and implementation of all backend components, built as JEE application running on Web Sphere Application Server and exposing a REST layer to simplify the client-side integration. The backend has been integrated with an SOA platform for the 2-way exchange of enterprise messages with the Company data center. I led the design and implementation of a JEE-based customer care application, for the management issues related to travel (delays, cancellations, interruptions, etc.). The application has been integrated with several DB2 databases and JMS-complaint external brokers. For the last half of my career, though strongly focused on design and development activities, I have led a lot of client-facing scenarios, dealt with countless customer issues, actively conducted business requirements analysis, written the internal and external project documentation.
