About

Hey! I'm Anthony 👋

I'm a founder and software developer with a focus on cloud computing and developer tools, and a love for all things music.

Where I'm from

I was born and raised in the eastern suburbs of Pittsburgh, PA (LGP!🐧) in an Italian-American household.

I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in 2015 with a Bachelors of Science in Information Systems. Most of my coursework was in software engineering, economics, computer science, and music.

What I'm up to

I'm currently a Founding Engineer at Galileo.

Some of my go-to tools and services are: Google Cloud, AWS, Python, Kubernetes, MySQL, Postgres, Docker, HTMX, Ruby on Rails, Go, Rust, and various open source/ CNCF projects.

I am also doing small angel investments in early stage startups and taking on small advisory roles. DM me on twitter to get in touch!

Where I'm at now

I'm currently living in Brooklyn 🗽 and loving it. It's so easy to hop up to Manhattan for dinner and a show, or Bushwick for a late night banger of a concert. I'll be here for a long while.

What I used to do

I've also started a few startups!

I was the first engineering hire for Gridwise where I built and scaled the platform from it's earliest stages to a nationwide (USA) ridesharing analytics platform and promotional marketplace. I was also the CTO of Signal Distribution; a new kind of music distribution company that enabled global royalty collection, distribution, and publishing admin all in one place. I founded my own startup, Astrobase. Which I ran for a couple of years before deciding to shut down the company and run it as a side project.

I also spent some time teaching in Carnegie Mellon's School of Computer Science as a Research Software Engineer for the Cloud Computing course in the masters' program.

A while ago, I worked at Capital One where I was working on infrastructure and automation for CreditWise, Secured Card, and Capital One Labs.

What else

In my free time, I'm working out, digging for new music, djing, and checking out the local food scene. I love music and the music ecosystem, so I'm always keeping up with trends, businesses, startups, new ideas, and innovations in the world of music.

If you'd like to get in touch, I'd love to hear from you. You can connect with me through any of my accounts listed on this page.

Cheers 🍻
