What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that fosters innovation and teamwork, with opportunities for growth and leadership.

I am a self-motivated and highly skilled agile developer with over a decade of experience in software development. My journey began in college, where I collaborated with the University and the National Research Council of Italy, contributing to both development and teaching activities. My expertise lies in multi-thread distributed concurrent systems and optimization, allowing me to deliver high-quality software solutions that meet user requirements effectively.

Throughout my career, I have taken on various roles, including technical project manager in multiple startups, where I successfully led teams and managed projects that garnered significant funding. My tenure in the banking industry has further honed my skills, particularly in backend logic for large applications and big data, where I became an expert in concurrent and distributed programming. I have a proven track record of leading heterogeneous teams and making architectural decisions that drive project success.
