Hi all! I am Davide Polonio, a programmer and devOps engineer. I am born in 1994
|
2021-12-24 17:51:09 +01:00
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
|
glueing stuff around), especially automating releases with Continous Integration
|
|
|
|
|
and Continous Delivery. I create and manage pipelines for Jenkins (and
|
|
|
|
|
administer Jenkins as well), but I also know other CIs 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. Automation is usually my preferred way, since it helps developer 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 start from
|
|
|
|
|
how you organize to work on it 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 payed time
|
|
|
|
|
if it is an open source business project) I like to contribute to open source
|
|
|
|
|
projects and to discover new ones. I believe in the value that open source
|
|
|
|
|
software (and especially free software) can give respect to closed one. 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.

## Why this blog
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
As I have already written in 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
