About Me
Hi! my name is Emanuele but everybody calls me Tex or Setola, I’m a DevOps Manager and System Architect with a particular focus on Cyber Security; I was a Web Developer and an IT Manager.
I’ve started developing applications in early 2000, with languages like C++ and Java. Then I’ve followed the web standard with PHP and Node, with a little trip to GoLang.
What I'm passionate about
Technology is both the key point of my professional career and my oldest hobby and of course one passion that takes me over the years.
I like Linux, OpenSource, Arduino and Raspberry PI and Kubernetes
I’ve always been fascinated by the potential of the Internet, a passion that led me to face either technical or design and marketing topics.
I also developed a strong interest in automation and technology interactions with the physical world while exploring micro-controllers, IoT and CNC stuff
Outside work, I enjoy riding my motorbike, cooking, playing drums and tactical games.
I also volunteer at NGI and GamesNet online communities helping managing games server and forums.
