About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Software and Platform Engineer with more than 20 years of experience designing Java/JVM applications, distributed systems, and cloud-native platforms.

I combine software architecture and hands-on backend and frontend development with platform engineering, Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, and reliability practices. My work spans telecom, cybersecurity, media, healthcare, and public-sector environments.

I build secure, scalable, and reliable systems using Java, Spring Boot, Angular, AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitOps, and DevSecOps practices. I have extensive experience with IAM platforms, microservices, event-driven systems, CI/CD, and observability.

I have worked with organizations including Ericsson, the European Commission Joint Research Centre, Awin Global, Condé Nast, Accenture, and Liguria Digitale. I have also led engineering teams and contributed to architecture modernization initiatives.

I am available for senior remote B2B engagements across the EU, particularly in cloud modernization, Kubernetes platform engineering, DevSecOps adoption, CI/CD hardening, IAM, and fractional senior platform leadership.

Career history

DevOps & Platform Engineer Condé Nast

I support engineering and platform operations for a cloud-native commerce and creator-platform ecosystem running on GCP. I operate and evolve the GCP/GKE platform, Kubernetes workloads, infrastructure automation, and GitOps delivery practices.

I build monitoring dashboards, alerting, and operational notification flows to improve service visibility and incident response. I also create on-demand Kubernetes development environments linked to pull-request lifecycles, strengthen CI/CD quality gates and secure configuration, and support reliability through observability, troubleshooting, and cross-team coordination.

Freelance Senior Cloud Engineer Awin Global (via Upper)

I designed and maintained cloud-native, event-driven data platforms on AWS for high-volume affiliate marketing and tracking workloads. My work included real-time click and transaction event ingestion with Apache Kafka on AWS MSK.

I built and operated Databricks pipelines using notebooks, Delta Lake, and Spark jobs for large-scale transformation and analytics. I also supported OpenSearch, AWS infrastructure integration, Salesforce data flows, monitoring, troubleshooting, and performance optimization across distributed environments.

Freelance Senior Software Engineer Nexova

I contributed to a proprietary cybersecurity platform across both frontend and backend layers. I designed and implemented application components using Angular and Spring Boot.

I led the integration of Keycloak as the identity and access management platform and implemented OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow. I designed secure access-control mechanisms and contributed to architecture discussions focused on security requirements and IAM-driven application design.

IT Contractor JRC (Ispra) - European Commission (via Unisystems)

I designed and developed full-stack enterprise software supporting nuclear facility decommissioning at the European Commission Joint Research Centre. The solution used Angular, Java, JasperReports, and BEA WebLogic.

I delivered end-to-end UI, backend, and reporting features, while helping improve decommissioning workflows and operational efficiency. I collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to ensure integration and reliable performance in a regulated environment.

Information Technology Contractor K2 Partnering Solutions / Accenture

I worked as a Java Microservices Developer on cloud-native backend services deployed on AWS. I designed and developed Spring Boot microservices using cloud-native and event-driven patterns.

I implemented serverless components with AWS Lambda and integrated DynamoDB, S3, and Pinpoint. I also built CI/CD pipelines using AWS CodePipeline and CodeDeploy, used CloudWatch and CloudTrail for monitoring and auditing, and containerized services with Docker and Docker Compose.

Advanced Consultant & Engineer Altran

I worked on cloud-native identity platform engineering for Ericsson, including refactoring ForgeRock OpenAM integrations within Kubernetes-based microservice architectures. I designed OpenAM containerization strategies, performed version uplift work, assessed Keycloak, implemented OAuth2 and JWT mechanisms, and supported CI/CD integration and production troubleshooting.

I also developed a BBNS tool for mobile network change and delivery-plan management using Angular 8, Spring MVC, Spring Boot, and Hibernate. For Liguria Digitale, I developed a React Native healthcare booking application integrated with Java Spring MVC and Tomcat.

Software Architect / Senior J2EE Developer Ericsson WideGroup SAGL

I worked on cloud-native modernization of identity and access management for the Ericsson Network Manager platform. I led architectural refactoring and containerization of ForgeRock OpenAM in a Kubernetes-based microservices environment.

I evaluated scalability, high availability, state management, and operational requirements for OpenAM workloads. I supported migration from Veritas Cluster to OpenStack and Kubernetes, contributed to Docker, Helm, Jenkins, and CI/CD workflows, and developed Java EE IAM services using OpenAM, Keycloak, OAuth2, JWT, and Python automation.

Software Engineer / Team Manager AvelcoWeb

I developed application frameworks based on Jakarta Struts, Dojo, and DWR. I also co-designed and developed an enhanced framework using Apache Struts2, Dojo, Hibernate, and jQuery to accelerate software delivery for the Italian National Health Service.

I worked as a Java development manager, team leader, and Senior J2EE Developer. I managed a team of 12 developers and supported the delivery of enterprise healthcare software.

Electronic Engineer Tecnology Italiana

I designed, developed, and optimized laser cutting machines. My work covered engineering activities related to machine functionality and performance.

I served as lead engineer for on-site installations and customer care, providing technical support directly to customers.

ABAP4 Developer Accenture

I worked as an ABAP4 developer. I contributed to SAP-oriented software development activities during an early stage of my engineering career.

This role provided foundational experience in enterprise software development and business-system programming.
