DISPOSITION
Pragmatic, no hype

Eighteen years across the full arc of the web, from hand-built servers to cloud platform governance. My job is making other engineers faster, safer and more ambitious.

About

01 / A SHORT TRANSMISSION
$ whoami
A developer, first of all. Italian, from Florence.
Incurably curious, easy going,
a problem solver by instinct. I talk with everyone:
explaining how something works to a junior
genuinely excites me.
$ cat /etc/philosophy
Two loves, technology and art, one rule:
pragmatism over hype. If we over-engineered it,
I will say so kindly, then help you delete it.
$

I care about art in every form I can reach: physical work and software, same rigor on structure and intent.

In teams I stay friendly and hands-on by default: I explain what exists, what is needed and why, to seniors and juniors alike, and it never gets old. My focus is governance and architectural standards, and I remain in the code while doing it: strategy with one hand, commits with the other.

◆ AI IN PRACTICE · STRATEGIC LEVER DAILY TOOLKIT, NOT A DEMO

AI as core engineering infrastructure, not a demo. The company is betting hard on it, and our team is the one tasked with how that lands across the monorepo: we take direction from management and staff engineering, then hold the reins on the how. Which systems get integrated, what rules the agents work under, how the codebase itself adapts. Lint rules that once served humans now run strict, so agents produce precise, on-standard code. It is governance work, applied to a new kind of contributor.

Treedom

Frontend Developer

Joined to reinforce the storefront, then helped drive the full migration away from the monolith in a core team of four, owning the frontend track with React, Vue and GraphQL, while constantly improving product, platform and core architecture. The foundations we laid held as the company scaled from ~20 to 150+ people, with IT growing to 25 developers, building high-traffic campaign pages for a platform that planted millions of trees.

Forzieri.com

Frontend Developer

Modernized a legacy ASP e-commerce end to end: an incremental migration first to jQuery, then to React with a Webpack toolchain, spanning frontend, backend and database integration, while the live luxury shop kept shipping features.

Easysystem

Head of Web · Full-Stack Designer

Hired as the studio's designer, prototypes and visual identities drawn from scratch, then grown into the on-premise infrastructure technician: servers, networking and firewalls inside client companies, notably Tuscany's leather and fashion district. Ten years owning every step for dozens of clients, from the first sketch of a brand to the servers it ran on.

Lumina

Il reame sospeso · The suspended realm

A fantasy MUD built with a small circle of friends, where words shape the world, not polygons. Node.js keeps the realm alive, MongoDB persists its history, Socket.io carries every whisper between players. The React client wraps it all in an interface its telnet ancestors could only dream of, live world map included.

Shyriiwook LISTENING

Art and architecture: galleries, courtyards, the way a city is put together.

Sci-fi and design books, usually both open at once.

Video games: drawn to the worlds, not the leaderboards.

Cooking, currently obsessed with bread fermentation.

Long flat rides along the Danube.

Dogs: friends on sight, no exceptions.
