Summary
Gian Pace is a seasoned software architect and hands-on engineer with over 15 years of professional experience and a lifelong passion for coding that began with a Commodore 64. He designs scalable, highly available microservice architectures and has led cloud-native initiatives using Kubernetes, AWS, service meshes, Kafka and GitOps across enterprises, startups and European government projects. At Hyland he shaped the Hyland Experience Platform (HxP) and routinely produces RFCs/ADRs, proofs-of-concept and architecture reviews to guide engineering decisions. He combines strong engineering craftsmanship (TDD/BDD/DDD, SOLID, FP) with practical DevOps automation (Ansible, Terraform, Helm) and a history of shipping production systems for high-traffic and mission-critical domains. An active community builder since the early Java days, he coordinates JUG Milan and embraces open source and continuous learning as cornerstones of successful products. Based in Gallarate, Italy, he pairs deep technical breadth—from Java and Ruby to emerging languages like Rust and Kotlin—with a pragmatic focus on team enablement and reproducible delivery.
