Who I am

About Me

I'm a software architect based in Italy with over 20 years of experience across web development, fintech, and gaming technology. My career started building web applications and CMS platforms in the early 2000s, then took me to Belgium where I worked on large-scale payment processing systems at Worldline, and brought me back to Italy where I joined the iGaming industry.

Over the years I've shifted from writing code to shaping the systems and practices around it — designing microservice architectures, modernising legacy platforms, establishing CI/CD pipelines, and creating the internal tooling that makes engineering teams move faster and safer.

I care deeply about software quality, observability, and building things that last. I enjoy bridging the gap between technical complexity and concrete business value.
