Full Stack Developer/Turin, Italy
I build fast, accessible web applications end to end, from polished React interfaces to the services and infrastructure behind them.
I started out in the startup world, where moving fast and owning the whole stack taught me how products really get built.
From there I took on bigger challenges: leading technical strategy as a CTO, then engineering large-scale systems inside a global enterprise. Today I build investigative intelligence software, while still shipping personal projects and collaborating with small, focused teams.
A problem is a chance for you to do your best.
Technologies I use to take products from first idea to production.
Interfaces, design systems & performance
APIs, services & business logic
Modeling, queries & optimization
Delivery, DevOps & process
Six years building products across startups and global enterprise.

A selection of products I've designed and shipped for my own studio and for clients.
A personal-finance dashboard with AI-powered investment advice: transaction tracking, budgets, goals and balance projections, a bank-statement importer, and an AI chat that routes between Claude, GPT-4o and DeepSeek over live market data.
A suite of AI-powered tools covering the everyday needs of content creators. It gathers ideation, production, and the repetitive creative work into a single workspace.
A platform that matches villa owners with the right booking channels, yield managers, and payment tools: a curated catalogue of 70+ services with a property-aware matching algorithm, across four apps.
An open-source tool for the Italian education system that guides students from middle school onward, exploring high-school types, university tracks, and study paths. It matches a student's preferences to the best route and surfaces the careers it can lead to.
A landing page for a planned event: visitors browse ticket pricing and book online, then log in after purchase to unlock the full party details.
A paid SaaS that analyses TikTok users with semantic analysis of their content and history monitoring to track metrics over time.
I'm always open to discussing new projects, creative ideas, or opportunities to be part of your vision.
