The practice

Tailored solutions, end to end: from data infrastructure to the devices at the edge and the software in between.

  1. Software architecture

    Replacing legacy architectures with modern ones, designed for performance and scalability — without losing what already works.

    Microservices · API design · SQL & NoSQL databases

  2. Big data

    Managing and analysing large datasets to extract insight you can actually act on.

    Data processing at scale · AWS, Azure, Google Cloud · AI/ML fundamentals

  3. IoT systems

    Connecting devices reliably, from embedded software up to the services that make sense of them.

    IoT integration · Embedded software

  4. Web & back-end engineering

    Responsive, intuitive web applications — and the APIs and back-end systems behind them.

    Python · C# · Java · Node.js · CI/CD · Docker

About

Languages
Italian — native
English — C2
Spanish — A2

Born in Italy in 2003, immersed in technology since childhood. It started with mods for video games; it became a career.

That career now spans standalone applications, complex web systems, embedded software, and APIs. I came to engineering through a formal grounding in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology — and I still treat software as a science: understand the problem properly before shipping the answer.

The rest is continuous learning, personal and professional, and a commitment to delivering software that holds up to — and exceeds — expectations.
