My name is Andrea, I live in Italy, and I’ve been using computers and living on the internet since the late 90s/early 00’s (thanks dad!).
In the past 5 years I got my Master’s Degree in Computer Science, then moved to a failed PhD in Operations Research/Combinatorial Optimization, and now I’m a Software/DevOps Engineer.
On the coding side, I mainly work in the backend side using C#/.NET and/or Python. I’m also interested in Go, and I’d like to have the chance to use it in a future project.
On the DevOps side, I love automation and observability. I’ve worked with Jenkins and GitLab CI/CD, and I’m currently working with GitHub Actions. I’m also working big time on Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm. I’ve been playing with Terraform, but I’m not using it in my current job. I have experience with monitoring tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and the OpenTelemetry ecosystem.
I know and love Windows and Linux, and I know my way around PowerShell and Bash.
I’m a Scout.
I play bass guitar.
I love Mario games.
At the moment, this blog is just a place to store some notes and thoughts whenever I feel like it.
