Selected case studies

A short selection of work across cloud migration, security operations, automation, identity integration and product delivery. Some enterprise examples are anonymized to avoid exposing client-sensitive information.

01

Cloud migration and infrastructure modernization

Context

Enterprise environments required support moving from VMware and legacy infrastructure toward Azure, GCP, private cloud and hybrid models.

What I worked on

Planned migration work, coordinated VMware-to-cloud activity, checked SD-WAN/cloud connectivity, aligned suppliers, compared cloud costs, handled technical troubleshooting and prepared cutover steps.

Outcome

Improved migration structure, clarified dependencies, strengthened supplier coordination and made the transition from legacy infrastructure to cloud services more controlled.

Technologies

  • VMware
  • Azure
  • GCP
  • private cloud
  • SD-WAN
  • Cisco
  • Windows
  • Linux
  • MS SQL

02

Security operations and SIEM/XDR onboarding

Context

A distributed global environment needed support integrating security platforms across on-premises and cloud sites.

What I worked on

Onboarded Bitdefender XDR and IBM QRadar data sources, validated connectors, checked firewall paths and log transport, and prepared operational guidance for local IT teams.

Outcome

Reduced onboarding friction and gave local teams clearer checklists, escalation points and technical instructions.

Technologies

  • Bitdefender XDR
  • IBM QRadar
  • Azure
  • SD-WAN
  • MPLS
  • firewall paths
  • log transport

03

Patching and vulnerability process redesign

Context

Critical infrastructure teams needed a more repeatable Windows patching and vulnerability management process after a major security incident.

What I worked on

Redesigned operating procedures with Ansible, helped move work from SCCM to Ansible, built RACI documentation, updated runbooks and trained junior staff to operate the process.

Outcome

More standardized operations, clearer responsibilities and a process that could be handed over and repeated by the team.

Technologies

  • Windows Server
  • Ansible
  • SCCM
  • PowerShell
  • RACI
  • runbooks

04

Identity integration and validation support

Context

A multinational identity environment required support around Oracle HCM/RIS, ForgeRock IDM, PingOne and Microsoft Entra ID integration work.

What I worked on

Worked on scripted REST integration, deterministic mappings, filtering, normalization, validation evidence, monitoring scripts, runbooks, Microsoft Entra ID safeguards and vendor coordination.

Outcome

Improved stability and auditability of identity flows, clearer validation evidence and better operational handover for production teams.

Technologies

  • Oracle HCM/RIS
  • ForgeRock IDM
  • PingOne
  • Microsoft Entra ID
  • Bash
  • Python
  • Microsoft Graph API
  • JSON

05

Eventario - founder-built App Store product

Context

Eventario is an independently built iPhone app for discovering local events in Italy, published on the Apple App Store.

What I worked on

Owned product positioning, mobile UX direction, event discovery flows, search/filtering logic, privacy/legal preparation, App Store release process, iteration and AI-assisted development workflows.

Outcome

A real consumer product shipped to the App Store, demonstrating end-to-end product ownership beyond enterprise consulting.

Technologies

  • mobile app
  • event discovery
  • location-aware search
  • privacy/legal flows
  • App Store release
  • AI-assisted development workflow
