Description

Full-stack and polyglot engineer with 10+ years building distributed systems across automotive, fintech, health, and SaaS.

I work end to end: from the transactional-outbox messaging layer to the Vue/Flutter UI, and I've led monolith-to-microservices modernisation across multi-country platforms. Currently a Senior Software Engineer at MotorK (Milan),

building event-driven automotive services across European markets.

Independently, I design, build, and run my own products. Several are live on their stores and on the web (a QR-tracking SaaS, mobile apps on Google Play and the App Store, an e-commerce marketplace). I also maintain an open-source

Java library published to Maven Central.

I care about clear design decisions, reliable delivery, and shipping things that actually run in production. I work in English and Italian.
