What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build my career in the Nordic countries, where timber construction and the reuse of existing buildings are shaping the industry.

At SPERI S.p.A., I work on structural design and seismic vulnerability assessments of existing buildings, including detailed and executive designs for strengthening and retrofit interventions.

I use finite element modelling and analysis, and prepare technical reports, calculation documents and specifications. My work applies Eurocodes through the Italian NTC 2018 framework.

Previously, at GBD S.r.l., I worked on structural and geotechnical design and verification, seismic assessment, and digital surveys using laser scanning and aerial photogrammetry.

My master’s research at Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II focused on the mechanical characterization of timber beam-to-column joints. I’m looking to build my career in the Nordic countries, where timber construction and the reuse of existing buildings are shaping the industry.
