Head of Engineering

I lead the architecture and delivery of the SHAPE HPC platform, supporting more than 1,000 concurrent cloud and HPC jobs while optimizing performance, scalability, and compute cost. I designed a container-as-a-service API used by four engineering teams across more than 12 services, allowing workloads to scale to 800+ vCPUs and 768 GB RAM instances through a single client-side configuration flag.

I standardized CI/CD with reusable GitLab components and LLM-assisted deployment-change reviews, substantially reducing deployment-related incidents. I also designed an S3-based financial data lake ingesting 70+ GB daily from thousands of instruments within a three-hour pre-market window. I introduced LLM and agentic systems for code review, debugging, and log analysis, reducing outage duration by 50% and incident frequency by two-thirds, while leading and mentoring an eight-person engineering team.

I designed and developed an HPC and cloud orchestration platform for machine learning workloads as part of the European PRACE-SHAPE project. I introduced HPC job checkpointing to support preemptible, spot-like compute resources, reducing compute costs by 60% across thousands of jobs without increasing time-to-solution.

I modernized application infrastructure using Docker and AWS to improve deployment consistency and operational reliability. I also built financial analytics and machine-learning applications with Vue.js and Laravel, enabling researchers to move from local experimentation to hundreds of parallel jobs on the CINECA HPC infrastructure.

I delivered web applications and infrastructure automation solutions for small business clients in Emilia-Romagna. My work covered application development, deployment automation, and operational tooling.

I used Python, PHP, JavaScript, Jenkins, Terraform, and Grafana to build and support client solutions. I worked across both software delivery and infrastructure needs for a range of smaller organizations.

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science.
