Marco Crivellaro is a Principal Engineer with 13 years of experience designing and operating cloud-native, reliable systems across media and sports-tech businesses. He has led platform transformations at DAZN—championing Backstage as an internal developer portal—and now applies that expertise at Beamery to improve developer experience and platform reliability. Marco pairs deep systems knowledge (performance debugging with Linux perf, DORA metrics, Terraform-driven deployments) with practical architecture work, from serverless services to retiring legacy backends without customer impact. He is an active contributor to the popular Backstage open framework, implementing GitHub integration and Scaffolder enhancements across frontend and backend. Based in Veneto, Italy, Marco combines hands-on coding with strategic leadership, mentoring teams and defining internal metadata and progression frameworks. An uncommon strength is his history of building real-time sports-data pipelines and synthetic user-journey systems that shaped large-scale product launches.
