# Fabio Cicerchia

> Technical leader and Head of Platform Engineering, based in Rome, with 20+ years across backend engineering, cloud infrastructure, DevSecOps, platform engineering and GreenOps. Has worked as Developer, Sysadmin, Architect, CTO, Founder and Head of Platform.

Works best with startups and scale-ups where engineering is outgrowing its early decisions: rising AWS costs, slowing delivery, accumulated CVEs, fragile releases, undocumented architecture and manual toil. Approach: measure, optimise, automate, repeat.
