Summary
Daniele Valeriani is a Senior Site Reliability Engineer with 14 years of infrastructure and platform experience and a decade of leading remote, globally distributed teams. He combines hands-on expertise—ranging from petabyte-scale storage and large Redis cluster recoveries to Kubernetes migrations for hundreds of services—with a pragmatic, iterative delivery style that prioritizes user experience and low technical debt. Daniele has repeatedly transformed struggling operations teams into product-focused SRE organisations, notably enabling a hosted Matrix migration and building a revenue-generating Kubernetes operator at Element. He is skilled at restoring focus and trust in teams through clear roadmaps, ownership culture, and async communication practices that preserve work-life balance. Comfortable both in deep technical trenches and in engineering management, he also brings strong cost-forecasting and incident management discipline that materially improved reliability and reduced spend. Based in Scandicci, Tuscany, he publishes work on GitLab (gitlab.com/omame) and favors practical automation that turns “pets” into cattle.
