About Marco C.

I have spent the last 25 years working in New York City, from Startups to Fortune500 companies. This combination shaped my work ethic, resilience, and determination. Many people say they’re not afraid of hard work — I’ve proven it by completing eleven 100‑mile ultramarathons in the past decade. Endurance, discipline, and consistency aren’t just traits I talk about; they’re how I live.Professionally, I bring 23 years of experience in open‑source Linux environments and 12 years working hands‑on in AWS. At MediaMath, I served as the AWS Subject Matter Expert, leading initiatives to significantly reduce cloud spend. I built and enforced AWS budgets, implemented Service Control Policies (JSON), and delivered daily cost‑optimization reports to the team. My work included GP3 migrations, S3 lifecycle tuning, and identifying underutilized resources across the environment with RIs and saving plans.Before my cloud career, I spent years building out datacenters using HP, Supermicro, and Dell hardware. That foundation gave me deep expertise in both bare‑metal infrastructure and cloud architecture. This expierence has made me a expert in migrating legacy services off Datacenter environments into the cloud. At MediaMath, I became the technical lead for the AWS and Provisioning team, overseeing bare‑metal and cloud resource allocation, maintaining Ansible playbooks, and driving automation across the stack.I have led and completed 4 datacenter, leagcy apps and system migrations for 4 companies in my career. Setting up new workflows and system upgrades to best practices and modern cloud standards. I’m passionate about teaching — whether it’s AWS, Linux, or running. Helping people grow and gain confidence in their skills is one of the most rewarding parts of my life. As a Senior Systems Engineer or Manager. I’d be excited to bring that same energy, experience, and leadership to your company.True to my nature as a problem solver, In my free time I build and fix watches. I specialize in Japanese movements.
