The practice

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

  1. Artificial intelligence

    Bringing machine learning into real products, from model design to deployment alongside the systems that feed it data.

    Machine learning · Deep learning · Python

  2. Software architecture

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

    Microservices · API design · SQL & NoSQL databases

  3. 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

  4. IoT systems

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

    IoT integration · Embedded software

  5. 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

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.
