Cloud Architect
PwC
- Built and deployed to production enterprise-grade cloud-native applications using a microservices architecture running on AWS (ECS, EKS) and Kubernetes to support a PIPL-compliant localized after-sales platform in China for a luxury fashion client; restored end-to-end operational capability for 400+ customer advisors after a forced data-transfer shutdown, enabling the migration of historical repair data and unlocking future engagement opportunities for ~180,000 โservice-onlyโ customers.
- Automated CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps for versioning, building, and deploying Java/Maven artifacts, improving deployment reliability and reducing manual operational overhead.
- Engineered a DevOps/Platform target architecture aligned with SAFe, incorporating test automation, CI/CD, IaC (Terraform), and monitoring; delivered PoCs that accelerated cloud adoption and governance standardization for a logistics client in the Middle East.
- Implemented FinOps and DevOps practices to reduce multi-cloud operational costs and speed up deployments through Python/YAML automation, monitoring improvements, and infrastructure optimization.

๐๐ปโโ๏ธ About Me
I hold a Master of Science in Computer Science from Northeastern University in Boston, MA.
Despite my academic journey beginning in the realm of business, where I earned a Marketing degree and a certification in Business Analytics from Minnesota State University Mankato as well as completed the Honors program, I have embraced a profound transition, or rather, an augmentation of my skills.
The catalyst for this evolution, as I prefer to perceive it, was the transformative effect of the pandemic on the intersection of technology and business.
The once-distinct realms of computers and algorithms and organizational operations have melded, prompting me to immerse myself deeply in computer science.
My aspiration is to cultivate a comprehensive understanding that enables me to navigate this evolving landscape with efficacy and expertise.
I firmly believe that fluency in both business and technology constitutes a formidable combination, capable of yielding remarkable outcomes.
Originally from Italy, I am fluent in both English and Italian.
Prior to my collegiate pursuits, I attended a scientific high school, where my studies revolved primarily around mathematics, physics, biology, and chemistry.
Athletics has always been a significant part of my life; I dedicated 13 years to competitive basketball and remain an avid fan.
Beyond sports, I harbor a passion for exploration, having traversed 5 continents and explored 37 states across the United States.
Additionally, I possess a keen interest in technology, sneakers, cars, and American football.
