Marc Di Sabatino’s README

Intro

Hey! I’m Marc and I’m a Senior, Business Systems Analyst for the IT Enterprise Applications division.

About me

I grew up and currently live in Newark, Delaware (the first state). I live with my fiance and four cats aka my fur children. I have been working in IT roles and in tech for ten years now. I enjoy the challenges and problem solving opportunities this field provides but what I love most is the opportunity to help people while playing with the latest and greatest tech.

My GitLab Story

I have worked for GitLab for over five years now, in my time here I….

  • Was the first IT Analyst ever hired at GitLab back in 2019
  • Onboarded over a thousand employees between 2019-2022.
  • Maintained two separate roles and was promoted to Senior for both those roles.
  • Reported directly to one Manager and three Directors in my tenure.
  • Onboarded and became technical owner of a large portion of our current Tech Stack.
  • Later on became CODEOWNER of the same tech stack and I work to maintain its accuracy.
  • Assisted our compliance teams with achieving and maintain SOC and ISO certifications.
  • Provided Technical support for all first year company earnings calls.
  • Lead the largest bulk refresh and distrubtion of laptops of my entire career…all while battling covid delays. (over 400 laptops to 30 countries)
  • Technical contact and support for our Slack migration from Pro to Enterprise.
  • Assisted with the groundwork for our current laptop End Point Management stack. (ABM, JAMF, etc)
  • Parterned with an engineering colleague to design the #IT-Help Slack Tool.
  • Attended one summit and three offsites.
  • and made so many friends and connections along the way…

What its like working with me

I am very much a product of my commander personality type. I approach most work situations with a forward looking, out of the box thinking attitude. I will frequently question and challenge ideas and strategies, even if I agree with them. This is not because I am contrarian, it is because I genuinely have an interest into why you think that way and how that idea came to you. I am always looking for my next task to complete and opportunity to improve something. I hold my own personal integrity to highest standard and expect those I work with to do the same. I work best under pressure and enjoy jumping into large or urgent projects but I do need time to focus and complete smaller tasks assigned to me.

What I am working on now

Since my change of roles, I am now working on building out the Enterprise Applications Services team along with collaborating on a number of cross divisional projects and goals.

Communication with me

I am typically very informal and I like to keep conversations light and friendly. Feel free to message me on Slack, or tag me in a GitLab thread since I typically work from my “To-Do” list. Also feel free to use my Google Calendar Booking link in my Slack profile for any meetings or coffee-chats.
