Daniele Santoro Developer

Daniele is an Expert Research Engineer at the Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK), where he has been working since 2008.

He is currenlty contributing to research projects in the areas of cybersecurity, cloud-native automation, and the orchestration of distributed environments.

In previous years, he worked with IaaS and PaaS technologies while adopting DevOps methodologies to orchestrate Cloud, Fog, and Edge Computing environments, leveraging tools such as Kubernetes, HashiCorp Nomad, and OpenStack.

His work has focused on the design and development of secure and automated infrastructure solutions, contributing to several European research projects including FLUIDOS, TOFANE, and DECENTER, with a particular focus on security, orchestration, and Cyber Deception techniques.

He has also gained significant experience in supporting university-level teaching, collaborating for six consecutive years with the master’s course “Fog and Cloud Computing” at the University of Trento.

He is a certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) and continues to specialize in designing secure and scalable cloud-native solutions.
