Hi, I'm Dominic D'Apice

About Me

Developer - Azure Infrastructure AI with 25+ years of experience managing and automating complex IT systems. I design, deploy, and operate Azure platforms that power AI workloads, data engineering, and mission-critical pipelines.

  • Building and operating Databricks environments (clusters, jobs, models, pipelines) with a focus on performance, security, and compliance.
  • Automating operations end-to-end with IaC, CI/CD, orchestration — fewer manual steps, more reliability.
  • Partnering with Data Science, AI, and IT teams to turn business needs into scalable cloud solutions.
  • Applying MLOps and DataOps best practices: model lifecycle, data governance, monitoring, and observability.

Currently pursuing a University Certificate in Data Science to deepen my foundations in statistics, programming, and applied analysis — and competing on Kaggle to sharpen my ML skills against real-world problems.

Connecting infrastructure expertise with data and AI to help build modern, sustainable platforms that support digital transformation.

Beyond Code

When I step away from the terminal, my curiosity stays on. I enjoy:

  • Astronomy - exploring celestial objects and following the latest discoveries.
  • Artificial Intelligence - studying ML advances and how they translate into real-world impact.
  • Science & Physics - especially the fundamental laws that describe our universe.

These interests feed my work and keep lifelong learning at the center of what I do.
