Adrián Deccico

Co-founder and Director

Adrian is the Co-founder and Director at Darumatic. He was inspired by 'Daruma' the Japanese god of persistence that will keep up no matter what happens. In Darumatic we believe we can help you to release safer and more stable code faster than ever.
In 2006, Adrian was working for one of the biggest American telcos within a team of 20 developers. More often than not, updating the source code from others work was an adventure that ended up with broken system functionality or even worse, code that wouldn't even compile. He refused to accept this situation and told himself that there has to be a better way.
Luckily, Martin Fowler and his influential 'Continuous Integration' article came along to show him the way. His DevOps heart was born. From that moment he successfully installed his first CI server and developed his own automated testing tool. This greatly improved his team's productivity and code quality. Afterwards, life took Adrian across two other continents and other companies. But in any place he worked he would continue to unravel the power of automation, CI and devops for dramatic productivity improvements.

Lia Acierto

HR/Recruitment Manager

Building relationships is one of the key things that I am very passionate about. Meeting new people, learning new things - not really an IT person but I have grown to love IT and learned a lot from it, and creating new relationships are things that I love being in Darumatic.
I started off as a BDM from my previous employee, working on the whole operations from training, recruitment, account management, client management and all things needed to make the business grow. I met Adrian there as a client and I guess we hit it off and took me as a recruitment manager when the company went down.
I started with Darumatic on Feb 2022, a little bit at the height of pandemic and lock downs, Darumatic believed that I will be a good addition to the team. We slowly rebuilt the recruitment team, from hiring new talents to revamping the recruitment system, recreating the process, building a new and efficient recruitment workflow to having continuous learning with the team.
Darumatic has lead me to learn new things and unleash my full potential as a person and I am looking forward to build new relationships with the team.
