About me
Hello, I’m Vincenzo Scalzi and this is my corner of the Web!
I love the Web and the gems that it contains, the inspiration and the technology. I am omni-curious, a technologist and like to share through my notes, at meetups and with my co-workers!
Technology has reached a point where it could serve us better by giving us space to grow. I fully embrace this by using my time online to learn, notably from Hacker News, contribute new knowledge or find new ways to reduce my impact. High performance does correlate with minimalism, sustainability and smaller costs of operation and maintenance!
At work, I help deliver best-in-class solutions either myself or with the help of fantastic people that I raise the bar with. I swing new ideas and tools around and observe how they accelerate us and save precious time or mental load.
I highly value surrounding people, their time and strive to make myself replaceable. My work is truly complete when my customers are delighted and when they achieve full autonomy and technical sharpness.
Finally, I enjoy my time: playing the ukulele, organizing travels, eating out, walking around aimlessly, playing timeless video-games, reading, learning. You know the stuff.
Get in touch!
Find me through LinkedIn and send me a message! If you’ve got business, wish to learn stuff with me or just for a chat, go ahead. I’m open to discussion, even about those things people are usually shy about.
About my work
And if you’re here to learn about my journey, here you go:
-
Cloud Architect, DevOps & SRE Lead at Pyl.Tech
I help our customers better understand the Cloud, the tooling and the piping, whether it’s GCP, AWS or Azure! I also organize events, write contents like LinkedIn, blog posts and a public newsletter and contribute things I’m not allowed to talk about ;) -
Cloud Architect at SOPHiA Genetics
I turbocharged the team that accelerates tech teams; DevOps. By introducing missing practices and a different way of working. Commit conventions, release automation, foundational Cloud layers automation, simplifying infrastructure and CI/CD, etc. It’s not just tech and that’s what is refreshing about it! -
Senior Cloud & DevOps Engineer at Gekko Part of Accenture
Serverless architectures on AWS, DevOps philosophy and Web engineering. My development background was what sold it for my customers, for whom I delivered optimizations in their critical energy systems, linear TV advertising platform, insurance and real estate IT services and so on. This company taught me the value of the Cloud and how to create sustainable and performant services. And documentation, and how to effectively introduce new ideas to customers and conduct them to fruition and beyond. -
Fullstack Developer at Moonda
A now defunct web agency based using the now deprecated PHP Content Management System eZPublish to develop dealership website generators for John Deere, Yale and other customers. I migrated that product from OVHCloud to AWS, maintained it, added Cloudflare and developed new components in PHP and Angular. The rest was about introducing better practices around CI/CD, using GitLab to its fullest, tooling and infrastructure.
Have a nice visit and a nice day!
