A frontend engineer who grew up on 'nduja and red onions

Born in Tropea, in the south of Italy, and raised nearby in Capo Vaticano, I studied at La Sapienza in Rome and specialized with a master's degree at the University of Florence. After two internships, I started my career at Docomo Digital, then moved to Barcelona to work at eDreamsOdigeo. Since 2022 I've been building frontend platforms at Scandit.

When I'm not staring at a screen, I'm usually out for a walk, playing beach volleyball or football, swimming, or playing guitar and annoying the neighbors.
