JOSEPH PETITTI

Welcome to my personal website

I'm Joseph Petitti, a systems administrator and cloud architect living in New England. I studied computer science at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and graduated in 2021 with a Master of Science degree. I mostly work on cloud infrastructure using AWS and Kubernetes.

Professionally I desigin and deploy cloud architecture for running, connecting, updating, and monitoring containerized workloads. My work spans infrastructure, application development, networking, and DevSecOps automation. For fun I also like game design and web development.

Check out my resume for an overview of my accomplishments, and see the projects page or my GitHub for a detailed description of the projects I've been working on.

About Me

For fun I enjoy programming, hiking, movies, and all kinds of games. I love the great outdoors and try to spend as much time out there as I can. My goal is to climb all 115 peaks above 4,000 feet in the northeastern US.

In my free time I practice programming with personal projects and amateur game design. Above is a picture of me at PAX East presenting a free and open source, procedurally generated, top-down, twinstick shooter game I created with two fellow students in spring 2020.

At WPI I was a member of the Beta Theta Pi social fraternity and the Upsilon Pi Epsilon computer science honor society. I worked on the Beecology Project, an NSF-funded biodiversity research project, and ASSISTments, a free platform funded by millions of dollars in federal grants that uses data-driven insights to improve high school math education. I did my Master's thesis on Android network security with the Cake Lab research group.

I have worked various internships and jobs across Massachusetts, and I completed academic projects in Hong Kong and Kyoto, Japan. Below is a photo of me at the summit of Mount Fuji in September 2019.
