Marco D'Aleo

During the same years, he became passionate about Linux and, more recently, he fell in love with containerisation, scripting and automation. In his work with Mydex, Marco uses his skills to streamline pipelines, create new tools to help the team and, of course, keep the Mydex platforms up and secure.
