Hello, I’m Salvatore Cavallaro.

Data Architect & Senior Consultant

Welcome to my digital space. I am a consultant specialising in the design and management of data-driven solutions.

My goal is to transform technological complexity into tangible value. I combine my work in the Cloud and Data field with a deep passion for technology in all its forms, from hardware to software. Although my current focus is on the Cloud, I maintain a practical approach that does not overlook the underlying hardware, designing Hybrid-Cloud solutions capable of getting the best out of both worlds.

I stay constantly up to date with rapid innovation, but my approach always starts from a fundamental element: LISTENING. Fully understanding my clients’ needs is the first step in building tailor-made, effective and scalable architectures.

My journey

My career has been a journey through the entire data ecosystem. I have held key roles that have allowed me to develop a 360-degree view:

  • Data Engineer & Analyst: My experience began right here. For about five years, I worked as a Data Analyst and Data Engineer, a fundamental period that allowed me to understand “from the bottom up” what it really means to manipulate data and the complexities hidden within ETL processes.
  • Solution & Cloud Architect: As I grew professionally, I broadened my perspective to take in the bigger picture. I realised that behind process management and analysis platforms, there must be solid foundations. This led to my decision to specialise in the design of resilient cloud architectures.
  • Solution Consultant (Pre-sales): Technology is fascinating, but consulting requires pragmatism. Every customer has a specific history and needs: there is no single solution that can be replicated everywhere. I never start with the goal of “selling as much as possible”; my professional ethics require me to tailor the right solution for the customer, positioning it exclusively for the real value it represents.

Hands-on Approach I love writing code and am obsessive about details. I don’t just design architectures on paper, I actively guide the implementation process. I am the first to provide operational support to the team to turn the project into reality.

My philosophy: I welcome every new challenge as an opportunity for growth. I set no limits for myself; I believe in continuous improvement, responsibility, and the value of working under pressure. It is precisely in critical situations that I find the focus to give my best.

Tech Stack

The main technologies I use to build solutions every day:

Cloud & Infrastructure

  • Microsoft Azure
  • IaC: Terraform

Coding & Data

  • Python
  • PySpark
  • SQL

Why this blog?

I decided to open this space to share solutions to real problems that I face every day in the field.

Official documentation often explains the ‘what,’ but rarely the “how” or ‘why’ in complex scenarios. Here you will find snippets, architectures, and reflections born from direct experience, with the aim of helping other professionals overcome the same obstacles I have encountered.
