Hello visitor,
my name is Angelo Failla (you might know me as pallotron), and this is my personal site.
I am an Italian immigrant (I refuse to use the term “expat”) living in Dublin, Ireland, since 2008.
In my professional life, I work as a Production Engineer (also known as a Site Reliability Engineer or DevOps) at Meta (formerly Facebook). I have been there since March 2011, working from the Dublin, Ireland office and always gravitated around Data Center Automation teams.
Outside of that, I love cooking, photography, and cycling. Regarding cycling in particular, I enjoy long-distance cycling, also known as randonneuring or audaxing. I have completed several 200km, 300km, 400km, and 600km rides. I have participated in the ~1200km Paris-Brest-Paris twice: once in 2019 (had to scratch after 600km) and in 2023 (finished with a few hours to spare).
