Marco Sporchia
@marcosporchia
Backend engineer at Sikuro Group building a vendor integration hub; previously built getpica.com's SaaS platform for photo processing.
What I'm looking for
At Sikuro Group, I’m the sole developer of an integration hub connecting a construction-compliance platform with vendors’ badge, attendance and access-control systems. I reverse-engineered undocumented webhook payloads and built data integrations for BI tools and external APIs, handling large volumes with layered caching and near-real-time updates.
At getpica.com, I built the SaaS product around an existing photo-processing pipeline, including a configuration model that enabled customer self-service. I’ve also refactored critical legacy platforms, built an e-commerce catalogue that reconciles supplier data, and developed backend systems for construction-site access, sports timing and travel pricing. I’m open to permanent or contract roles, and I use coding agents through a process of written design and iterative review.
