👋 Hi there! I'm Daniele Chinazzi, Lead Software & DevOps Engineer @MOLO17 SRL — Pordenone, IT.

⏱️ 10+ years across software development, cloud and infrastructure.

🖥️ My passion for computing started at home — taking apart and building PCs. From there, Arduino and microcontrollers, and later smart home experimentation: Home Assistant, MQTT, Zigbee. It grew into a formal path: a diploma in Computer Science & Telecommunications, then a cloud specialisation at ITS Kennedy in Pordenone with a focus on AWS.

🚀 Over the years I've built experience spanning full stack development to infrastructure automation, expanding into DevOps and cloud architecture. Staying current with evolving technologies is part of how I work — I see AI as a valuable ally, where applicable, to further raise the quality of what I build.

I like understanding how things work, not just using them. I go from code all the way down to the rack. I believe in Infrastructure as Code not as a buzzword, but as the only sane way to manage environments that grow. I automate everything worth automating, and monitor everything else.
