Distinguished Engineer (technical executive) in IBM Cloud unit IT Service Management organization responsible for the IBM Automation portfolio that includes the IBM Control Desk and Workload Automation products.In this role I am responsible for the technical strategy and direction of the products delivered as standard software packaging used by customer on premises in private data centers and also the new cloud-based delivery offering as Software as a Service integrated into IBM Cloud Marketplace.The development team is located in three different countries U.S., Italy and Brazil. With a large customer base distributed world wide and in all industries.IBM Control Desk is complete IT service and asset management software that provides single point of control for automating business processes for IT management and administration. It provides integrated asset management, configuration management and service desk functions.https://www.ibm.com/marketplace/cloud/it-service-management/us/en-usIBM Workload Automation is an extremely scalable and reliable scheduling and management platform that automates the execution of business application jobs across the enterprise , It is the backbone of critical business applications of most of the biggest companies in the world. https://www.ibm.com/marketplace/cloud/workload-automation/us/en-usI led the transformation of the products architecture toward the delivery as Software as a Service offerings published in the IBM Cloud Marketplace and BlueMix catalog on top of the IBM SoftLayer IaaS infrastructure. The strategy was based on:- Staged evolution of the Java/J2EE three tear architecture to a microservice based architecture using modern technologies JavaScript, node.js, Docker, etc.- Adoption of DevOps methodologies implementing automated integration and delivery pipelines- Integration of the product Application Programming Interface with strategic IBM PaaS solution BlueMix

Senior Technical Staff Member lead Architect in IBM Cloud and Smarter Infrastructure unit responsible for design and development of IBM Cloud Orchestrator product.In this role I was responsible for the driving from the start the design and the implementation of the IBM Cloud Orchestrator product, its integration in IBM's overall Hybrid Cloud solutions, and its ongoing development and evolution.IBM Cloud Orchestrator is IBM's leading Private Cloud Management solution. It allows to fully automate the provisioning and life cycle of complex application patterns composed of compute resource (virtual servers, storage, network), middleware components (application servers, datatabases, etc.) and integrating with IT service management process (including e.g. change management, asset management, monitoring, backup/restore, security, etc.).I led the ground up design of the product architecture assembling best-of-breed technologies from different IBM brands (WebSphere, and Technology Group)and open source communities. Some key aspects of the solution were:- Exploitation of the OpenStack IaaS technology for managing the virtual servers, storage, network provisioning (OpenStack nova, cinder, neutron services) and complex pattern deployment (OpenStack heat patterns)- Integration of IBM Pure Application pattern engine for coordinating the provisioning of complex patterns of middleware/application components - Integration of IBM Business Process Manager workflow engine to fully automate the IT processes (runbooks) for managing the cloud services- Implementation of a modular architecture that enabled the integration with external public cloud technologies like Amazon EC2 and IBM Softlayer in very similar to provide a leading-edge Hybrid cloud management solutionIn recognition of his innovative work and ability to drive collaboration across different IBM units I was appointed of IBM Cross-Team Outstanding Technical Achievement Integrated Offering Award in 2013.

Senior Technical Staff Member in IBM Software Group in Tivoli brand. IT architect and consultant client-facing role in the IBM Cloud Computing Client Engagements Team driving major customer projects based on products in IBM hardware and software Cloud Computing portfolio. The Cloud Computing Client Engagement Team was a worldwide team formed shortly after IBM began producing technology to address the emerging Cloud Computing market. The objective of the team was to assist clients in successfully deploying Cloud Computing solutions using these IBM technologies.In this role I was responsible for designing the architecture and then lead the implementation performed by the service team of private and hybrid Cloud Computing solutions.I worked on several complex engagements, in particular a very successful project with a leading worldwide service provider for the implementation of a multi region virtualized Infrastructure-as-a-Service platform, designing a very complex and scalable technical solution that enable IBM win against very strong competition from VMWare, Cisco, HP, and Microsoft.I acquired and applied slikk in designing of complex IaaS solution based on VMWare vSphere and ESX hypervisor and KVM hypervisor.My engagement in key customers projects created concrete references and case studies that supported IBM’s position in the cloud computing space. Moreover I acted as technical bridge between the client-facing world and the IBM development laboratories aligning development strategy and plans to product deliverables that drove real benefits to customers and competitive advantages for the IBM success.

Senior Technical Staff Member in IBM Software Group in Tivoli brand responsible for the first release of the IBM CloudBurst hardware appliance and IBM Service Delivery Manager virtual appliance. IBM CloudBurst was the strategic IBM integrated hardware and software solution that included the IBM Software Group service management software with IBM System Group servers, network and storage components as a complete, ready to use private IaaS appliance. The solution was one of the first in the market delivering a similar solution. In IBM it was the precursor to the current IBM PureApplication server and application deployment offering.I was responsible of the design and the coordination across business unit of the teams that developed the software solution packaged in the appliance. The solution integrated the IBM Tivoli components that were the foundation of the IBM Cloud Computing reference architecture: Tivoli Service Automation Manager, Tivoli Monitoring, Tivoli Usage and Accounting Manager together with VMWare vSphere management stack and ESX hypervisors and the IBM hardware x86 blade and storage systems.Moreover, after the first delivery CloudBurst hardware appliance, in few months I drove the proposal and delivery of the same software stack as a easy to deploy and configure VMWare virtual appliance package that could be used to implement a ready to use IaaS infrastructure with different third parties hardware platforms. The proposal was translate into the IBM Service Delivery Manager (ISDM) product.
