👋 Ciao! I'm Giuseppe, a Staff Platform Engineer living in the UK since 2013. With over 12 years of experience, I've specialised in high-scale distributed systems and Kubernetes, contributing to companies like Loveholidays, Elastic, PlayStation, and various startups.
🚀 I focus on system design, cloud infrastructure, and cloud-native technologies, primarily AWS and Kubernetes. With expertise in Python and Golang, I hold a Certified Kubernetes Administrator credential and have experience scaling systems for millions of users. I leverage AI tools daily to enhance productivity and solve complex architectural challenges.
💼 At Loveholidays, I focus on platform engineering and infrastructure optimization. At Elastic, I developed synthetic monitoring frameworks and acted as an Incident Commander. My work at PlayStation helped enhance the performance of analytics tools significantly. This diverse background has honed my skills in designing scalable systems.
🎯 Who I Help:
- Engineers preparing for system design interviews - I'll guide you through complex architectural decisions and help you articulate your thought process clearly.
- CTOs and CEOs needing guidance on system design for their startup ideas - from initial architecture to scaling strategies.
- Teams struggling with Kubernetes - whether you're migrating to cloud-native or optimizing existing deployments.
📈 I delivered training courses across Europe and currently maintain a technical newsletter with over 2,500 subscribers. My mission is to guide you through modern system design and cloud-native engineering. My mentoring approach combines hands-on technical expertise with real-world industry insights.
