Italy
Message

At SiteWitness, I designed and developed an independent platform for continuous WordPress website monitoring. Its event-based change detection tracks relevant changes across monitored websites, with AI analysis and recognition of usual attack patterns.

At Gate, I served as technical lead for the Gate Mobility project, translating business requirements into technical solutions. I delivered 10 of 32 planned Java/Spring Boot microservices to production while also contributing hands-on development.

At Extendi Srl, I led technical development for custom software projects in fashion, retail, travel and energy. I worked from client discussions and requirements through architecture, implementation and production.

Earlier, I maintained and evolved J2EE systems at Capgemini and developed web applications and RPA procedures at CWS Srl. From 2010 to 2016, I delivered web and mobile applications, portals and management software for Italian and UK clients, primarily using Ruby on Rails and PHP.
