I build applications end-to-end — from Angular microfrontend widgets to NestJS APIs, geospatial visualizations in CesiumJS, and data pipelines in Apache NiFi. Currently architecting the Mindicity Urban Intelligence Platform at Fabbrica Digitale, TIM Group's technology partner.
Full-stack developer with 11 years of professional experience across agencies, product companies, and enterprise platforms. I work in an Nx monorepo with Module Federation, practice Spec Driven Development from Figma and YouTrack, and deploy to Kubernetes via Portainer.
Before Mindicity, I built iOS apps for INAIL, a crowdfunding platform with PayPal integration, advertising management systems with ERP integration, and digitised back-office workflows for multiple clients.
When I'm not at a keyboard, I play music with Empty Spaces.

Building Mindicity — an Urban Intelligence Platform owned by Gruppo TIM (Telecom Italia), branded as TIM Urban Genius. The platform has an open-source foundation listed on Developers Italia (EUPL-1.2, AgID-recognised), and is delivered as a SaaS to Italian municipalities. Clients use it to monitor and simulate city dynamics in real time: traffic, air quality, public transport, hydrogeological risk, IoT sensors, and behavioural analytics — visualised on a configurable widget dashboard, a Leaflet 2D map, and a CesiumJS 3D city view with terrain and building models.
Full-stack developer at a digital agency covering web, mobile, and iOS projects across multiple concurrent clients — from institutional sites and WordPress platforms to custom web applications.
Sole developer responsible for all web systems, digitising business workflows directly with management.
Developed internal management software for a media company operating across TV, radio, print, and digital. Both products are now part of the Atex Exelis suite.
Training internship — built the company website and internal utilities with PHP, jQuery, MySQL, and C# Windows Forms.
Technologies I reach for first — grouped by domain.
Open-source and personal projects — commercial/client work omitted for privacy.
An original, dependency-free design system catalog I built for my own projects — foundations, components, theming (dark/light), and accessibility guidance in a single self-contained page. This site's visual identity is built on it.
CRM/web app for managing restaurant orders and their lifecycle states, with a modular integration into the cash register system.
Custom Alexa skill that turns older Echo devices into a more capable, general-purpose AI assistant.
Live audience-voting system built for a theatrical musical show in the style of Sanremo — the audience votes and results display in real time on a stage LED wall.
Web platform for singers and live performers — synchronized lyrics prompting optimized for tablets, with a fast timestamp-mapping editor, LRC import/export, and a commercial-ready licensing/payments architecture.
Website for Empty Spaces, the band I play music with outside of work.
Open to senior IC and tech lead roles.
Interested in product engineering, platform work, and high-craft teams.
