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.

• Built the Mindicity Manager — a full admin application to configure every aspect of the platform: navigation menus, data sources, IoT device registry, widget types and instances, user roles and privileges, dashboard templates, and stream analysis rules
• Developed independently-versioned microfrontend widgets via Module Federation in an Nx monorepo — each widget ships its own SDK and template version and is deployed in isolation; implemented from Figma specs and YouTrack issues (Spec Driven Development)
• Contributed to api.core.engine — the shared backend foundation used across all platform APIs; a plugin-based architecture where a single engine instance can serve multiple API surfaces, or be built into separate service images as needed
• Worked across the full stack: Angular frontend, NestJS and Python APIs, Apache NiFi data pipelines, Kubernetes via Portainer, and CesiumJS for 3D geospatial rendering

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.

• Built an award configurator for RM Premiazioni — a real-time tool allowing customers to compose and preview custom trophies, medals, and glass awards online
• Built a furniture configurator for AB Design Group — an interior design and FF&E procurement company; also built their website using a headless architecture (Joomla CMS + Next.js frontend for SSR and SEO), and integrated the configurator with the Italian electronic invoicing system (SDI/fatturazione elettronica)
• Built Sports Fund — a crowdfunding platform for amateur sports clubs with PayPal integration and a full campaign management flow
• Developed an iOS app for INAIL (National Institute for Insurance against Accidents at Work) in Swift 5
• Managed WordPress sites and developed custom plugins; built cross-platform mobile apps with Xamarin.Forms
