I specialize in building scalable and secure cloud-based web apps (on AWS) and AI tools. My main programming stack is Python/FastAPI for the backend and React/TypeScript for the frontend. I am fully committed to personal and professional growth in the technology field, driven by a mission to transform complex ideas into functional and elegant solutions. I leverage AI tools to accelerate my projects. For the past two years, I've primarily used Visual Studio Code with GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT as assistants. I’ve also worked with Cursor, Lovable.dev, and Supabase.
I am a self-motivated software engineer with a focus on the frontend since 2011. My daily goal is to build mobile-friendly web platforms using cutting-edge technologies along with clean code for SEO optimization and profiling tools to boost performances. I constantly set new challenges and work hard to improve and increase my technical skills and enrich my code knowledge and moving on fullstack in the recent years.
Having worked as a Web Developer, UI/UX Designer and Trainer for 20+ years, I've helped many brands with their online and offline marketing strategies. Born and raised in Italy to an Italian father and a Swedish mother, I've started creating websites using the Photoshop slice tool, HTML tables, inline styles and some JavaScript in the late nineties. I lived and worked in London for over a decade, during which I was employed by Apple as a One to One trainer and Langland before founding my own marketing and communications agency. After closing the agency in 2018, I moved back to Italy and returned to freelancing as a consultant, balancing work with being a dad.
