What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead architectural decisions, mentor teams, and work on innovative AI-driven projects.

I am a Staff-level Backend and Platform Engineer with 9+ years spent stabilizing distributed systems, building reliable ingestion pipelines, and reducing operational risk in production environments. I focus on correctness, determinism, and maintainability under real constraints — real-time APIs, asynchronous workflows, voice integrations, and analytics tied directly to revenue or user experience.

My strongest work has been in roles where data integrity and reliability matter more than velocity. I have redesigned ingestion flows for fintech platforms using Adjust, AppsFlyer, and Singular to eliminate silent mismatches, prevent duplicated cost events, and protect attribution metrics. My work typically combines architecture and pragmatism: identify ambiguous assumptions, codify invariants, and introduce guardrails that make failures observable, deterministic, and recoverable.

I enjoy environments where the system is complex enough that small mistakes scale into large incidents. In those contexts my strengths emerge: isolating side effects, enforcing idempotence, building retry envelopes, and designing transparent failure contracts. When failures happen, I want incident response to be boring and reproducible, not guesswork.

Beyond backend engineering, I build voice-first AI tools. I designed real-time orchestration for a speech-to-speech agent that receives calls, manages context, and delivers structured post-call summaries. For industrial and internal use cases, I have built streaming dialog orchestration, context memory, and latency-aware pipelines that allow hands-free interaction with technical systems.

I mentor engineers through debugging strategies, code review standards, and clarity of architecture. I value solutions that are easy to reason about, safe to roll out, and inexpensive to maintain in the long term. Tools and languages I use regularly include TypeScript, NodeJS, Go, AWS (ECS, Lambda, SQS, ALB, VPC), Pulumi/Terraform, PostgreSQL, Redis, and streaming APIs.

Education

Degrees, certifications, and relevant coursework

University of Trento

Bachelor Degree, Computer Science

2012 - 2015

Grade: 92

Activities and societies: I earned my Computer Science degree with a strong focus on software engineering and networks. I won a national contest for an Android app I designed and built, ranking first among hundreds of submissions. This project was later featured in several tech blogs and earned university recognition.

My best grades were in algorithms, networking, and programming language semantics. I was especially drawn to systems-level thinking and performance optimization. I enjoyed dissecting compiler theory and low-level protocols just as much as building real-world software.
