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 Backend Engineer with over 8 years of experience in designing, building, and scaling backend systems across various sectors, including fintech, blockchain, streaming, and edtech. My passion lies in owning architecture, mentoring teams, and driving impactful projects, particularly in AI-powered and cloud-first products. I thrive in remote environments and have a proven track record of aligning engineering decisions with product outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have led high-impact projects, including architecting scalable backend systems using NodeJS and PostgreSQL for a construction B2B platform. I have also integrated GoLang and Solidity modules into blockchain identity systems and managed microservices for smart learning platforms. My technical expertise spans backend-heavy stacks, cloud infrastructure, and microservices, and I am dedicated to raising engineering standards through mentorship and best practices.

In addition to my professional experiences, I have founded and led side projects such as Decla, an AI-powered phone assistant, and SecureLink, a privacy-first tool for generating single-use S3 download links. I am passionate about scalable backend architecture, mentorship, and the practical application of AI in real-world workflows.

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.
