I started as a mathematician — winner of the Italian Mathematical Olympiad, bronze medallist at the International Olympiad in Toronto — before shifting to software in the late 2000s. The move felt natural: both fields are about finding the simplest structure that solves the problem.

Since then I've worked across fintech, health, civic tech, media, and developer tools — each time learning what "simple" means in a new context. I've led teams, architected platforms, and shipped production code, often all three at once.

With AI tooling now central to engineering, I focus on choosing languages, frameworks, and abstractions that produce the best outcomes in human-AI collaboration — still as simple and maintainable as possible.

I've taught postgraduate programming at LaSalle Barcelona since 2022. I have opinions, and I work best with people who also have opinions and can argue them.
