Hi, I’m Davide πŸ‘‹

I’m a Senior Platform Engineer at SUSE, where I identify systemic infrastructure gaps, design missing abstractions, and ship production-grade solutions adopted across teams and environments.

What I Do

I specialize in building internal platforms and developer tools that scale. My work spans Kubernetes, virtualization, observability, and asset governance β€” with a focus on greenfield design, production readiness, and long-term maintainability.

Recent Highlights

  • πŸš€ 62% infrastructure cost reduction ($100K+ annual savings) by architecting Kubernetes Cluster Auto-scaling with Cluster API across AWS, GCP, and on-prem
  • πŸ€– Built the SUSE Observability MCP Server from idea to MVP, embedding LLM-driven analysis directly into the alerting pipeline β€” recognized by senior leadership for production hardening
  • πŸ”„ Designed VM migration orchestration with a Kubernetes operator enabling 100+ VMs migration from KVM to Harvester
  • πŸ“Š Architected federated observability migration to SUSE Observability (StackState), cutting troubleshooting time by 25%
