About Raffaele
I help companies design, deploy, and stabilize cloud infrastructure that actually works in production.
I’m a DevOps Engineer and System Administrator with hands-on experience across AWS, GCP, and Azure, specializing in CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), and containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes). I’ve worked on real systems under load—debugging failures, improving reliability, and making deployments predictable.
What I bring is not just “tool knowledge”, but the ability to understand how systems behave in real conditions.
I can help you:
Build or fix your cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure)
Set up clean, reliable CI/CD pipelines
Implement Infrastructure-as-Code with Terraform
Containerize and orchestrate applications (Docker, Kubernetes)
Troubleshoot production issues (networking, performance, scaling)
Improve system reliability, observability, and deployment workflows
I also have a strong background in Linux and real-world networking (routing, NAT, firewalls, VPNs), which allows me to diagnose issues end-to-end instead of guessing at symptoms.
Clients typically work with me when:
Deployments are fragile or inconsistent
Infrastructure has grown messy and needs structure
Systems fail under load and need proper debugging
They need someone who can take ownership and deliver without constant supervision
I communicate clearly, document what I build, and focus on delivering solutions that are maintainable—not just quick fixes.
If you need someone who can step in, understand your system quickly, and make it work reliably, I can help.
