About Serena

I’m a computer engineer (MSc, Politecnico di Torino) with experience at Red Hat, IBM, and TIM, Red Hat certified (RHCE, RHCSA), and currently completing an MBA focused on innovation and sustainable technology.

I combine deep hands-on infrastructure skills with a clear understanding of business value — helping clients not just build platforms, but make the right technical decisions for their goals.

I bring solid experience across the banking and telecommunications sectors, with a strong networking background and deep expertise in Kubernetes — including complex bare-metal installations, GitOps, and DevOps practices end to end. I work extensively with KubeVirt and virtualization migrations, helping organizations modernize critical workloads in high-compliance environments.

I’m currently expanding my focus toward running AI/ML workloads on Kubernetes, bringing platform expertise to the infrastructure behind AI.
