What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering or technical leadership roles where I can design cloud-native, data-rich GIS and mobility platforms, mentor teams, and bridge research with production in open-source friendly, impact-driven organizations.

I am a full-stack developer and CTO with long-standing experience designing and delivering cloud-first, microservices-based platforms for mobility, cultural heritage and GIS applications. I built and operated white-label vehicle-sharing systems, led architecture and devops for OpenHistoryMap, and developed GIS front ends and data-management solutions for academic and public-sector projects.

I combine research collaborations and production engineering, having served as research assistant at the University of Bologna and consulted for multiple startups and institutions. My work emphasizes scalable cloud architectures, semantic data management, WebGIS, and open-source community-driven projects, demonstrated by publications, conference presentations and award-winning prototypes.
