I am an incurable optimist who loves finding solutions to hard problems.

Currently, I work as a Senior Systems Development Engineer at Google, building the future of Sovereign Cloud with Google Distributed Cloud air-gapped (GDC). My daily work is deep in the trenches of Kubernetes and infrastructure where the cloud meets strict disconnection.

However, writing code is only half the job. I would argue that how we build our teams is just as critical as how we build our clusters.

My philosophy is simple: Heroism is a bug, not a feature. If a system requires a "hero" to keep running, it is a broken system. I focus on building reliability through better processes, "teachability," and creating environments where the social cost of giving feedback is low.

I have a Master's degree in Computer Science from TU Munich with a major in Security Engineering. I still enjoy understanding how things work by trying to break them: that is why you can often find me on HackerOne or patching open-source projects.

I thrive when working on challenging projects, and I love recounting those challenges in conferences and blog posts. I truly believe information wants to be free.

The rest of my life

While my online-persona is quite focused on C.S. related stuff, I have an entire life out of the internet, with a funny Italian accent, enjoying life with my fiance. in Munich. If you want to know me better, just drop me an email, and if you are ever in Bavaria, let’s have a beer!
