Professional profile

From the shell to strategy.

I started with GNU/Linux and built my experience across telecommunications, security, and mission-critical systems. Today I help companies and IT teams design, secure, and operate complex infrastructure, both on-premises and in the cloud.

Co-founder of BitArmor S.r.l., senior consultant, and open-source enthusiast. My work is about removing fragility from architectures, reducing operational noise, and turning critical procedures into repeatable systems.

Mission set

What I do, without the fluff.

Focused engagements, solid architectures, practical training. The focus stays the same: systems that are understandable, secure, and observable.

01

IT consulting

I support companies with or without an in-house IT team, from technology choices to troubleshooting complex environments.

02

Security

Hardening, vulnerability analysis, risk management, and compliance with regulations such as GDPR and NIS2.

03

Cloud and on-premises

I design scalable, redundant, easy-to-understand infrastructure, from bare metal to cloud, with close attention to business continuity.

04

Training

I help teams build practical skills in Linux, automation, security, troubleshooting, and production engineering.

Protocol

Less magic. More control.

The goal is not to impress with complexity, but to build systems that stay up under traffic, incidents, and time pressure.

Assess

I map dependencies, risks, bottlenecks, and procedures that currently exist only in someone's head.

Design

I design disciplined architectures around high availability, horizontal scaling, automation, and clear boundaries.

Harden

I reduce the attack surface, make systems observable, and establish realistic recovery paths.

Transfer

I document, train, and leave the team with repeatable tools, not unnecessary dependencies.

Does your infrastructure need to be secured or modernized?

Tell me about your context, the problem, and the urgency. If useful, we can start with a quick assessment of the current state.
