Working on the Serverless project.

Colab is Lucca's newest and largest coworking space, located next to the historical walls of the city.

Focused on backend infrastructure, video processing pipelines, and large-scale data lifecycle management for AI-generated video platform.

• Architected and built internal storage system for video assets on S3, improving platform SLO from 95% to 99% by caching millions of assets from external providers. Implemented CDN layer on top for global distribution. Handled complex licensing requirements an

Traveled in Asia and Europe while parenting full-time.

Led technical strategy for Spotify’s storage platform, supporting 30+ backend teams and hundreds of developers:

• Led the strategic, multi-year decommission of Spotify global Cassandra footprint. This initiative standardized the company’s storage strategy, reduced operational cost, and enabled hundreds of engineers to focus on product-facing innovation rather than database maintenance.

• Drove c

In my initial tenure at Spotify, my focus revolved around operational and automation aspects of the eventually consistent stack. I actively participated in the migration from on-premise infrastructure to Google Cloud Platform (GCP), including the subsequent migration from Cassandra to Google Cloud. Some notable examples of my contributions include:

• Played a key role as the main contributor to a

I worked on the backend of the Klarna payment system, specifically on the transition from an existing Erlang monolith to a scalable Java microservice architecture. This system was used to handle the majority of the orders in the US. This strategic migration streamlined the system, greatly enhancing its scalability.

I worked in an agile team on the development of dataTXT, a text analyzer (exposed as Java REST service) able to extract semantic entities from a free text. I worked mainly on the optimization and improvement of the core algorithm and developed a fremowork for measuring its accuracy over time.

I worked at the nTOF experiment. My task was to build a monitor capable of retrieving all the data coming from the experiment, and analyse it, in order to find correlations between various measures. All the software has been developed in C++. I also received courses on the infrastructure and methodologies used at CERN.

I received a short overview on the construction of silicon detectors, in particular the ones used to study cosmic rays. I also had a short experience of EPROM programming.
