Giulia began her journey as a web dev, moved to data analyst and today she’s a product manager of a BI tool in an IT healthcare company, leading remote Scrum teams with members from 8 different cultures, starting from India.

LearnVantage, where he advises enterprise leaders and engineering teams on running
agentic AI in production. Thirty years across operations, DevOps, and cloud
infrastructure, most of it spent close to where systems actually break.

guardrails enforced by infrastructure are not. He builds MCP servers, runs Claude
Code daily, and grounds his sessions in real Kubernetes clusters rather than
slideware.
