Gabriel Sambarino is a seasoned technology leader and Chief Information Officer based in Udine, Italy, with over 20 years of international experience spanning software development, systems integration, and infrastructure operations. He blends hands-on engineering (from C/C++ and Perl to Node.js, TypeScript, Go and cloud platforms) with a people-first approach to building high-performance, distributed teams. His career moves from low-level datacenter and network engineering at Nokia and large-scale LAMP operations to senior engineering leadership at Automattic and product-oriented R&D for Solidus eCommerce. Gabriel has a track record of introducing disciplined processes—Agile, automation with Puppet, and Jira-driven workflows—that reduce interruptions and scale reliability. As a founder and former director, he pairs strategic vision with the willingness to dive into code and runbooks when needed, avoiding micromanagement while mentoring engineers to grow. A pragmatic systems thinker, he often operates at the intersection of DevOps, security and product delivery, turning complex operational challenges into repeatable practices.
