Welcome

Ciao! I'm Tia Zanella

I’m an Hybrid DC Architect specializing in data center networks. As an open-source advocate and the founder of OSIRIS JSON, I build tools that bridge the gap between complex infrastructure and clear documentation. I prototype solutions for real-world problems and share the war stories I collect along the way.
