About
Engineering across the whole operating path.
I work from user needs and architecture decisions through implementation, deployment, troubleshooting, and recovery. That range is the common thread across cloud support, product prototypes, infrastructure, and personal systems.
Profile
Based in Dublin, shaped by hands-on operations.
I am an Italian engineer based in Dublin. I completed the coursework and exams for a BSc in Computing Systems and Operations (Software Development and DevOps) at Dundalk Institute of Technology in May 2026, with the degree conferred in October 2026. My degree combines software development, DevOps, systems deployment, networking, virtualisation, and operating systems.
A six-month AWS Support Engineer internship, completed in August 2026, added structured cloud and deployment experience and collaboration with teams across EMEA and the Americas. Earlier infrastructure work involved maintaining more than 20 servers and NAS systems, replacing failed components, analysing logs, and using SMART and RAID health data to reduce downtime.
I use personal and group projects to test architecture choices in working software: local-first AI services, serverless integration, containerised platforms, transactional data models, failure simulation, observability, and private self-hosting.
