About Daniel Susca
I'm a senior DevSecOps and cloud engineer with more than 30 years in IT. I work as an independent consultant under the name Cloud Hub Tech.
How I work
I have worked as an IT consultant and architect, spent 13 years at a bank running SQL Server systems that could not go down, and then moved into cloud and DevSecOps in payments and healthcare software.
Today I work AI-first. I use Claude Code every day, inside development squads, to build pipelines, automate GitHub work and ship applications. Every change still goes through review and quality gates.
