About

I'm a software engineer based in Bergamo, Italy. I've been writing production code since 2013 — starting with web and Java apps at Baker Hughes GE, picking up iOS development at Telepass and Ducati, then settling into full-stack and cloud engineering at Gucci, where I've been for the past six years.

Right now I'm a tech lead on the e-commerce replatforming at Gucci — taking a monolith apart and rebuilding it as microservices on AWS, with Terraform for infra, Jenkins for CI, and Next.js on the front end. Earlier at Gucci I was the integration engineer connecting their platforms via MuleSoft, Kubernetes, and the Elastic Stack.

I like systems that are observable, easy to deploy, and don't surprise you on a Friday.
