The Story Behind the Profile This is probably my first non-technical article, and it comes from a quiet frustration I’ve been carrying for a while. In the IT world, everyone seems to be looking for “the expert.” The perfect profile. The flawless match. And in that rush, something important gets lost. I’ve seen headhunters scroll through LinkedIn profiles like feeds, seconds per person, eyes hunting for familiar words, bold titles, trendy technologies.

The Story Behind the Profile

From infrastructure to platform services: Lessons from 2025 The 2025 is now behind... and it has been intense, inspiring, and remarkably coherent in one direction: platform engineering as a technical, cultural, and operational journey. It’s also a meaningful year for me, not because everything is changing, but because some things are evolving. Career growth, participation in important events as a public speaker, and vibrant, engaged community involvement have shaped my 2025 in meaningful ways.

Commvault Synthetic Recovery — A Core Pillar of ResOps Vision Modern data protection is undergoing a fundamental transformation. At Commvault SHIFT 2025, the company shares the clear message that backup alone is no longer sufficient: organizations must adopt recovery-first, cyber-validated architectures capable of restoring clean, trusted data at speed. Among the innovations presented at the event, Synthetic Recovery stands out as one of the most strategic, enabling rapid, storage-side reconstruction of recovery-ready datasets.

From DynamoDB to Apache Iceberg: Next-Level Cloud Recovery with Clumio AWS re:Invent 2025 has just concluded, once again delivering a wave of innovation and renewed focus on how organizations can secure, scale, and modernize their cloud environments. Among the noteworthy stories emerging this year is Clumio, now part of the Commvault family, continuing to strengthen its position as a leader in cloud-native data protection. In a landscape where ransomware, misconfigurations, accidental deletions, and region-level failures threaten business continuity, organizations need more than traditional backup tools.

True fact: There is a difference between restoring data and restoring service! A lot of companies still think that the protection stands only in "keeping the data safe"! What about metadata, policies, configurations, etc?

A Tale of Two Tech Journeys: Platmosphere 2025 and HashiDays London – Part2 I know, it’s a little late, but I want to finally wrap up this report on an incredible journey that took me through two amazing events: Platmosphere in Milan and HashiDays in London. In this post, I want to explore what I’ve learned about security without compromise, focusing on HashiCorp Vault and Terraform Cloud: two pillars for enabling secure, automated, and scalable infrastructure.

Preparing for Platmosphere 2025 A few months ago, I was selected to speak at Platmosphere 2025, a one-day event organized by Mia-Platform, taking place on May 20th in Milan. In this post, I’d like to share a few insights into the topic I’ll cover without giving away the slides or too many details. I’m excited to be part of Platmosphere, an event dedicated to the evolution of platform engineering and the people driving it forward.
