About Me

Marcelo S. Ancelmo has 25 years (and counting) of IT experience and has done a bit (or would it be a byte) of everything. A good old-fashioned troublemaker, he started his professional career as a Java programmer, fell in love with architecture (a passion he still pursues today), dove into middleware (with no regrets), built high-performing teams, and explored infrastructure and operations.

What drives him? The never-ending puzzle of complex-adaptive systems and helping teams unlock their potential.

Deeply engaged in the tech community, Marcelo joins Meetups wherever he goes, teaming up with JUGs, helping organize events when time allows, and contributing to working groups and committees. Along the way, he’s delivered consulting, training, mentorship, and conference talks.

Today, he's Head of Solution Architecture at KPMG Switzerland, helping the company drive its digital transformation toward sustainable business agility, fueled by Architecture and DevOps, learning everything possible and enjoying the bumps along the ride.

When not wrestling with distributed systems or debating the merits of complex solutions, you'll probably find him with a coffee in hand and a headset on (yes, he is on a meeting).

Through this blog, he shares insights on Enterprise Architecture, Solution Architecture, Enterprise Content Management, DevOps, Java, Performance Analysis, Risk Management, Team Building, Digital Transformation, Organizational Transformation, Technology Strategy, Technical Leadership, and the occasional war story from the trenches of Enterprise IT.
