About

Hello! I am Angelo Santarella, a Software Analyst with over 10 years of experience primarily in the industrial and metalworking sectors. My expertise lies at the intersection of Full Stack Development, DevOps, and Cloud Infrastructure, where I routinely work with tools like Docker, Kubernetes, Traefik, and Oracle Cloud to design scalable and resilient systems.

Over the years, I have gained substantial experience in system integration and Industry 4.0 applications. I am highly skilled in automation, working extensively with MQTT, Zigbee, and Home Assistant to bridge the gap between software platforms and physical hardware.

I currently work in a leading company in the field of software for architecture, engineering and construction. In these years I have participated in several projects and had various responsibilities, such as:

• AI Adoption & Agent Governance (2024-present): I set the rules for how development teams use AI agents and explore ways to apply AI to business goals and company processes, building on LangChain, OpenAI and other artificial intelligence models.
• DevOps (2019-present): I manage and introduce the internal GitLab service, develop CI/CD pipelines using GitLab, manage Kubernetes clusters, manage internal Docker servers, manage AWS suite: EKS, Fargate, ECR, S3, EC2, CloudWatch, SES, IAM, VPC, VPN. I also manage, develop and port legacy systems to stateless services on the K8s cluster. I manage third-party applications on the K8s cluster: Ingress, Prometheus, Keycloak.
• Web Services (2015-present): I maintain and develop various web services for the company's products and customers, such as: subscription authorization service, account authentication service, ecommerce service, automatic subscription renewal service, price list service, sales catalog administration service, Dashboard service (Angular/NodeJs) for commercial operators aimed at customer analysis, performance, sales and statistics. I also act as a DBAdmin for these services. The servers are developed using GitLab, K8s, Docker, NodeJS, MySQL, MS SQL.
• Catalog (2014-2017): Server: I designed and developed a web application using Apache-PHP-MySQL, Symfony, Bootstrap, JQuery. I integrated the ElasticSearch search engine. The architecture was based on AWS EC2 machines. Client: I designed and developed a module that can be integrated into all the software solutions of the company for interaction with the online catalog.

I have a degree in Computer Science from the University of Salerno. My thesis was about developing a virtual sensor of environmental states for Android devices. The library was published with LGPL license on Sourceforge. I also created a demo application called “TelephonyManager” that allows changing phone modes based on the environmental states.

I speak fluently Italian (my native language) and English. I have a Trinity College Certification for English.

I enjoy working in teams and collaborating with clients and suppliers from different backgrounds and cultures. I have good organizational and problem-solving skills. I'm always eager to learn new things and improve myself.
