Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFederica Agostini is a software developer at INFN-CNAF with a decade of experience building middleware for distributed scientific computing, specializing in authentication and authorization (OAuth/OIDC, INDIGO IAM) and policy-based access control with Open Policy Agent. She blends production-grade DevOps practices—containerized integration tests and CI/CD automation—with deep domain knowledge of data management services like StoRM and legacy VO tools such as VOMS. Before transitioning to software, Federica spent years in experimental astroparticle physics on the XENON project, contributing to Monte Carlo simulation, detector hardware, DAQ, and leading PMT testing and run coordination efforts. That rare combination of hands-on detector operations and secure distributed-systems engineering helps her bridge requirements between experimental scientists and scalable infrastructure. Based in Bologna, she is comfortable working across research and production environments and routinely shapes solutions that satisfy strict security and operational constraints.
