Jacopo Nardiello

About

I tame and teach machines.

Hey, I'm Jacopo 👋

I'm a software engineer who spent the last 10 years working on infrastructure automation. I'm also a "deep tech" founder, as I like to turn hard technology into products.

In 2016 I bootstrapped SIGHUP where we created one of the most popular (and still used by the industry) independent Kubernetes distributions — you can find it here and should check it out. Did I mention that this is probably THE ONLY low-level distribution created and maintained entirely in Europe? 🇪🇺

In 2025, I moved on from SIGHUP and joined ING as Lead for Infrastructure Transformation ✨. Creating and running SIGHUP over the past 10 years was a life-long lesson and I'm thankful to have been able to work with some of the most talented people I've met in my career.
