Fantacalcio is a famous fantasy game in Italy.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
• Transformed existing IaaS AWS infrastructure into microservice, containerized, and serverless architecture.
• Improved the performance and security by adding WAF and CDN and automated the deployment process via CodePipelines.
• Migrated single account into AWS IAM Organization, configuring single sign-on (SSO) users and permissions per account.

Cybersecurity SaaS

I helped the customer transform a single AWS account into an AWS organization, managing them in a better way than the IAM.
I worked on the migration of software from EC2 to ECS Fargate microservice architecture, helping the developer team to containerize the application with Docker.
I improved overall security by refactoring the VPC and global networking, giving access to private resources like databases with AWS SSM Port forwarding.

I managed the entire infrastructure with Terraform, including the CI/CD process.

Payment Gateway Microservices Architecture

Designed and implemented a payment gateway AWS architecture based on microservices using AWS Fargate. The infrastructure included a CI/CD pipeline that enabled the customer to deliver the software faster. Further architecture components were CDN, WAF, Load Balancers, S3, Amazon Aurora, ElastiCache for Redis, CloudWatch, System Manager, AWS Organization, and AWS SSO.

The entire project was managed with IaaC and AWS CloudFormation, helping the customer replicate infrastructure environments with almost no effort.

CDN and WAF Protection System

Configured CDN and WAFs for critical Italian PA websites to improve security and content delivery latency to end users during critical public events. The solutions helped the customer mitigate common attacks like cross-site scripting, SQL injection, and distributed denial-of-service, improving the website's availability.

International Telematic University

https://aws.amazon.com/it/partners/success/uninettuno-vmengine/
Handled the cloud-to-cloud migration of a customer's architecture from a legacy IaaS infrastructure to a self-managed provisioning infrastructure using an application load balancer, AWS OpsWorks, CDN, and WAF. This enabled the customer to reduce infrastructure costs thanks to the introduction of autoscaling features and helped them to manage the workload increase. Helped the customer with software review to better scaling, for example migrating the user sessions from local EC2 to Redis.

This architecture improved the application performance delivering content faster, thanks to content delivery networks and improved security, protecting it from external attacks. Enabled the SSO architecture with a microservices architecture based on ECS Fargate containers and CI/CD process to deliver faster new updates using Shibboleth.

GGroup Automotive

Worked closely with the customer on designing and creating a complex hybrid architecture that enables the connection between multiple physical data centers and AWS cloud computing networks.

The project included multiple site-to-site VPN connection architectures connected to the AWS Transit Gateway. The customer objective was to interconnect multiple on-premise applications with AWS Cloud via a low latency, highly available, redundant, and scalable VPN architecture.

Driven, the customer chose the best architecture design, minimizing cost. I implemented the architecture and the monitoring system to monitor any possible downtime. I also planned and executed the migration of core customer services in IaaS infrastructure.
Thanks to this hybrid architecture, the customer was able to reduce hosting costs and improve multiple data centers' connections with the cloud.

Monolithic to Microservice Architecture

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFg1Jsr1XVM
I helped the customer redesign the on-premise LAMP monolithic architecture to microservices cloud AWS architecture.

I followed the entire architecture process, starting with solution design, cost estimation, and migration to the cloud. I transformed architecture components into managed services (like RDS for the database and AWS Fargate/Amazon ECS for the container).

I also helped the customer move the software into microservices containers. I configured CI/CD pipelines that enabled the customer to deliver the software faster. I trained the customer dev team to use Git and follow the deployment flow on AWS.

The entire project was managed with IaC and AWS CloudFormation, helping the customer replicate infrastructure environments with almost no effort.

Speaker at AWSomeDay in Napoli

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2yERX1NZNo
Selected as a speaker at AWSomeDay public event in Napoli at Federico II University on how to realize microservices infrastructure in AWS with AWS ECS Fargate. AWS and VMEngine organized the event. This presentation explained the containers, the CI/CD process, and how AWS (CodePipelines) helps customers focus on software development instead of infrastructure management and the software release process.
