I embarked on my programming journey at the tender age of 12, delving into Basic and Assembler for Sinclair and Commodore machines in the early 80s, laying a foundation for my future career. In the late 80s, during college, I explored PC architecture, 8088, MSDOS, and Borland tools like Turbo C and Turbo Pascal. In 1990, I expanded my knowledge into Mainframe, UNIX systems, OS2, and IBM PC DOS, and ventured into Apple machines using BNC hardware network cards. Academic pursuits provided insights into IBM and Olivetti PCs, featuring 286 and 386 Intel processors, and enterprise solutions like the IBM s390. My programming repertoire grew to include Delphi, Turbo C++, MS Visual C, and Visual Basic. I honed skills in Turbo Assembler, and navigating tools like Turbo Profiler and Turbo Debugger. Synthesizing programming and electronics, I integrated expertise with PICS and Atmel 8048/8051 microcontrollers, developing circuits. After my studies, I joined Alleanza Assicurazioni, maintaining internal accounting software. Assuming roles as a developer and system administrator, I focused on evolving control software for parking services, emphasizing hardware programming and microcontroller circuit design. The pinnacle was a server-based C++ application on a SCO Unix system, integrating with Ball and COBOL. Operators used offline terminals, transferring data to the central server via serial ttyS0/9600 based on the MAX RS232. This laid the foundation for my role with OTI OnTrackInnovations Ltda., my last real electronics experience. Since then, I switched to a full information technology experience, enjoying the constant evolution of IT systems and technologies, programming languages, being a hungry learner and a proficient engineer. Scaling and flexibility are my passions. My job is my favorite game.

Kubernetes Blockchain powered: when your favorite scheduler meets IBM Hyperledger Fabric
Discover the collaborative potential as Kubernetes intersects with Hyperledger Fabric, showcasing real-world applications, deployment strategies, and harmonious integration for resilient and scalable enterprise solutions.
HyperLedger Fabric is hosted as a part of the Linux Foundation as the most in serial blockchain applications, with a whole ecosystem and technologies to build powerful and trusty applications. But what happens when we try to combine it with Kubernetes? What are the current projects using it successfully, if any? And what challenges are effective starting from the infrastructure up to choosing the right language to write chaincode. This and more in the current proposal.
Mastering Kubernetes Operators with KubeBuilder: Sending Metrics to Prometheus
In this comprehensive session, "Mastering Kubernetes Operators with KubeBuilder: Sending Metrics to Prometheus," you will learn how to build and deploy a Kubernetes operator using KubeBuilder, an advanced framework for building Kubernetes APIs. This talk will walk you through the entire process of creating a custom operator, from the initial setup to handling complex resource management.
Once your operator is up and running, we will delve into monitoring and observability by integrating it with Prometheus, a leading open-source systems monitoring and alerting toolkit. You will learn how to expose custom metrics from your operator and configure Prometheus to scrape these metrics, providing valuable insights into the health and performance of your Kubernetes workloads.
