Greetings, I'm Antonio from Italy, will officially join RedHat starting from next 1st October. I'm 35 and will be based in Milan Office.

I'm passionate of IT, operative systems and automations programming, especially with Python. I'm also passionate of motorbikes

 My first steps with unix-like operating systems were in the late 90's, but I started to work with Red Hat in enterprise environments more or less 10 years ago.

Since then I had the chance to work as consultant in a lot of company, mainly around the FinTech world, but not only, where I contributed with my knowledge and my experience built up over the years to many projects.

 In my last job experience, I worked for a trading software house, leader in financial capital markets where I was involved as senior trading software analyst in challenging projects like the MIFID2 regulation software compliance adaptation, cooperating in market gateways development.

 Last but not least I acted as technical account manager of one of the largest banks in Italy, which I worked together in the last period on a complex proprietary software technology upgrade and migration.

I'm really excited to join Red Hat community and to be back with hands on something that I'm really passionate for.
