# Simone Desantis
API infrastructure builder solving complex cloud-native migrations and scalability paranoia.

## About

Simone Desantis builds and optimizes high-performance API infrastructures. He breaks down complex systems to find bottlenecks, shifting architecture from rigid on-premise setups to highly adaptable cloud components.

Currently shaping the core systems at Openapi, Simone navigates the hard realities of cloud migrations and cost control. He led a total transition to cloud-native after a physical data center fire, moving his team toward a strict Infrastructure as Code approach. He frequently speaks about the nuances of event-driven elasticity, detailing how to scale to zero without breaking the budget.
