At GekoCode, I designed and built Qtygest from scratch for Engim Srl, a management platform for measuring instruments and their required calibrations and periodic checks. I owned the architecture, including AWS infrastructure defined as code with CloudFormation.

At Widegroup, I modernized the development lifecycle for Policy and built internal libraries to help separate its monolith, as well as an Odoo integration for internal master data. Earlier at Engim Srl, I co-led technology modernization and replaced manual releases with continuous delivery; outside work, I co-founded Modena.rb and Rubycon.
