Who am I?
My name is Marco Matarazzo, and I'm a Tech Lead, a System Architect, a Developer, an Entrepreneur and a Game Lover.
I currently work as Director of DevOps at iubenda (Team.Blue), where I lead the DevOps team and oversee architecture, certifications and security.
My work experience ranges from leading and growing technical teams (iubenda, Dada.eu, Play.me) to complex system design and administration (Chorally.com, Musixmatch.com, Buongiorno.com). Through a long story of different activities, I learned how to tackle technical problems of various nature, how to grow people and teams, and how to keep everyone focused on the important things. I love when I can work to reduce the complexity of the systems I work with. I believe that reduced complexity can bring great benefit in any system, in many ways.
In my free time, I love to play games (roleplaying, board games and videogames), read comics, and keep me updated on everything that revolves around technology, gaming and game design. I designed and co-wrote Gates of Horizon, a (long gone, alas) 4x cross-platform videogame, and I write RPG adventures that I play as a Game Master with friends and guests in various conventions. I love sci-fi, fantasy and everything in between. I try my best to find enough time to read books, alternating actual books and tech/game manuals.
I am a Geek: I love technological gadgets, and I love to hack with them, understanding their deeper rules, discovering how to use them in the best possible way, even beyond their creator's original intent.
I am an IRECA operator, and I try my best to bring a bit more healing in this world, and to make it a better place to live.
