    About

    I have 15+ years building scalable web applications with JavaScript (Express, Fastify), Python (Django), and PHP (WordPress, ProcessWire). I'm proficient across PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, and Elasticsearch, with a brief background in Swift/Objective-C — helping businesses architect solutions that handle real-world complexity, from IoT data pipelines and travel GDS integrations to high-throughput APIs.

    I've led engineering teams, driven migrations from legacy monoliths to modern microservices, and built infrastructure-as-code pipelines with CDK and Terraform. Over the last year I've deeply integrated AI tooling into my workflow, making Claude Code a central part of how I develop.

    I'm fluent in Italian (native) and English (professional proficiency).
