Giacomo Dal Mas | Senior DevOps Lead & Cloud Architect
I help companies modernize, scale, and secure their cloud platforms. As a Senior DevOps Lead and Cloud Architect with over six years of experience across GCP and AWS, I design scalable, secure, and reliable cloud-native environments, with an approach focused on efficiency, collaboration, and reducing operational complexity.
At Nohup I have grown from Cloud System Administrator to DevOps / Cloud Engineer and, today, Senior DevOps Lead. I design and automate containerized environments based on Docker and Kubernetes, manage infrastructure with Terraform, build end-to-end CI/CD pipelines, and lead migrations and replatforming on public clouds such as GCP, AWS, and Alibaba Cloud, contributing to the standardization of architectures through Infrastructure as Code.
In my work, I always strive to strike a balance between technical control and intelligent automation. I believe in simplicity, system stability, and knowledge sharing as fundamental levers for building resilient and sustainable infrastructures over time.
