Hi all! I am Davide Polonio, a programmer and devOps engineer. I am born in 1994
|
|
|
|
|
and started messing with computers since I was 8 (my first OS was the only and
|
|
|
|
|
glorious Windows 95), and from there I continued my path to learn about
|
|
|
|
|
computers and how to ~~break~~ tweak them. I graduated at university of Padova
|
|
|
|
|
with a master degree in computer science in 2018.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I prefer back-end stuff (I usually end up using Java, Golang, Rust and Bash to
|
|
|
|
|
gluing stuff around), especially automating releases with Continuous Integration
|
|
|
|
|
and Continuous Delivery. I create and manage pipelines for Jenkins (and I
|
|
|
|
|
currently administer Jenkins as well), but I also know other CI systems like
|
|
|
|
|
Github Actions, Travis CI, Drone CI (or the now clone Woodpecker). I enjoy
|
|
|
|
|
container technologies, starting from Docker, Podman and going on to
|
|
|
|
|
orchestrators like Docker Swarm, Kubernetes and Nomad (which I would like to
|
|
|
|
|
learn more of the lasts two). If I can, I use Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools
|
|
|
|
|
like Terraform and Packer to create and maintain infrastructure on cloud
|
|
|
|
|
providers, like AWS or Scaleway (I also maintain [Podman plugin for
|
|
|
|
|
Packer](https://github.com/Polpetta/packer-plugin-podman)). Automation is
|
|
|
|
|
usually my preferred way, since it helps developers focus only on the business
|
|
|
|
|
product instead of messing with tasks that can be done by a machine. Finally, I
|
|
|
|
|
am interested in development processes like (but not only) Agile, Scrum,
|
|
|
|
|
Waterfall. I think the right way to develop a product starts from how you
|
|
|
|
|
organize your workflow and what processes you put in place in order to keep the
|
|
|
|
|
_development machine_ going.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I am an open source enthusiast, so when I am able in my free time (or paid time
|
|
|
|
|
if it is an open source business project) I like to contribute to open source
|
|
|
|
|
projects and discover new ones. I believe in the added values that open source
|
|
|
|
|
software (and especially free software) can give respect to closed ones. My
|
|
|
|
|
dream job would be to contribute to one of the many open source I like full
|
|
|
|
|
time! 🤩
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not only into programming though! I like to practice sport. In particular, I
|
|
|
|
|
am a black belt Judo and I teach it at the local dojo were I live. I know how to
|
|
|
|
|
ski from when I was I child, and if possible I enjoy passing some time in the
|
|
|
|
|
middle of mountains to admire the beauty of nature in winter. Finally, I like to
|
|
|
|
|
play tabletops games and I enjoy things like table football, billiards, bowling
|
|
|
|
|
(although I suck at the last one 😅).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are interested in getting in touch with me (or to get my resume) you can
|
|
|
|

|

## Why this website and this blog
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As I have already written at the beginning of [my first blog post]({{< ref
|
|
|
|
|
"/hello-world.md" >}}) I liked the idea of a place where I can share my thoughts
|
|
|
|
|
regarding technologies, personal experiences and what not. This blog is open
|
|
|
|
|
source, and all my content is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. The repository can be
|
|
|
|
|
found either on [my personal Gitea
|
|
|
