Hi, ciao

Massimo Gollo

I’m a Software Engineer and PhD in Distributed Systems, with a focus on Site Reliability Engineering and Application Performance Management. I’m passionate about building backend systems, managing cloud infrastructure, and automating everything in between.

My journey started at the University of Catania’s Distributed Computing Lab. That passion deepened in my industry roles, giving me the space to apply emerging technologies in production. My expertise includes container orchestration (Kubernetes, OpenShift/OKD, Docker), infrastructure automation (Ansible, Helm), and CI/CD design, alongside hands-on experience with Kafka, Airflow, Linux administration, and networking. Currently, I’m exploring the AI and LLM space, focusing on fine-tuning models for domain-specific applications and deploying them in production at scale.

Current focus
#

QoS & SRE SLA-driven decision engines and APM across the edge-cloud continuum.
Kubernetes Workload simulation, scheduler evaluation, and failure injection on bare-metal clusters.
Edge networks Latency-aware routing and resource allocation, including FANET-style multi-layer scenarios.
LLMs On-prem inference (vLLM, Ollama), fine-tuning with Unsloth, privacy-risk analysis on legal text (COAT).
