I'm an independent software engineer and technical consultant based in Milan, Italy. I operate as a registered self-employed professional under an Italian Partita IVA, providing remote software development and consulting services to businesses.
I design, build, and maintain software systems for startups and technology companies, with a focus on:
- Backend systems and APIs
- Cloud infrastructure and distributed systems
- Third-party platform integrations
- AI-enabled applications and developer tooling
- System architecture, performance, and reliability
- Technical leadership, onboarding, and code review
My client work is generally performed remotely through direct, ongoing contractor agreements. Most commercial projects and repositories are private due to client confidentiality.
I currently work primarily with a US-based AI startup as an independent contractor, contributing to backend architecture, infrastructure, messaging systems, integrations, and product development.
Recent areas of work include:
- Designing adapter-based integration architectures
- Building commerce and payment integrations
- Improving serverless performance and reliability
- Developing AI-powered customer communication systems
- Supporting engineering interviews, onboarding, and technical planning
