Who I Am
Hey there! I’m Antenore Gatta - an Italian-Swiss cloud governance specialist, AWS enthusiast, FLOSS contributor, and proud father of five.
With over 20 years in tech and the last 6+ years focused on cloud architecture, I currently work as a Senior Lead Cloud Governance & Security Engineer at Kyndryl, specializing in building and managing enterprise-scale AWS environments through robust governance frameworks.
My Expertise
I design and implement complex AWS Organizations structures with a focus on security, compliance, and cost optimization. My core strengths include:
- Multi-Account Architecture: Implementing AWS Control Tower, designing account structures, and establishing landing zones for enterprise organizations
- Security & Governance: Developing comprehensive Service Control Policies (SCPs), IAM Identity Center solutions, and security frameworks
- Cost Management: Implementing CUR 2.0 solutions and creating QuickSight dashboards for cost analysis and optimization
- Infrastructure as Code: Automating cloud infrastructure using CloudFormation and Terraform
In addition to my cloud expertise, I maintain a strong foundation in Linux/UNIX systems, containerization (OpenShift), and CI/CD practices gained from my previous systems engineering roles.
Certifications
- AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate (2022-2025)
- AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (2022-2025)
- Red Hat OpenShift Administration (DO180/280, DO425)
- IBM Professional Development (Strategic OSS Committer, Architecture)
Open Source Contributions
From 2014 to 2023, I served as lead maintainer of Remmina, an open-source remote desktop client serving over 150,000 users globally. Our team reviewed 8,000+ commits from 200+ contributors, implementing comprehensive CI/CD workflows and enhancing protocol support.
I remain active in open source communities, focusing on system administration tools and infrastructure automation projects.
Beyond Technology
When I’m not architecting cloud solutions or contributing to open source, I’m dedicated to fitness and powerlifting. This balance of technical problem-solving and physical discipline helps me maintain perspective and energy.
I believe in continuously expanding my skills, and I’m currently focusing on integrating AI capabilities with cloud architecture to enhance governance and security models.
