Studies

Studying Computer Science since 14, then a degree from the University of Ferrara in 2010. Wrote my thesis on an Automatic Testing Tool (source on GitLab) as a Java developer during an internship at MEEO.

2011–2015 — Java Web Developer at CSE on banking software, working with Eclipse RCP/SWT, JEE, Spring, GWT and IBM DB2.

2025–now  — Python Web Developer at Bit4id, on digital identity (certification and SPID flows), using Django, FastAPI, Docker and MariaDB.

Music & Drums

Music is my second passion after IT — guitar since 2008, drums since 2012, most recently studying at Estense Music Academy. Drummer for Outburst since 2015, then NEBULA — our last EP Frammenti came out in 2026. Here's my current kit.

Books & more

I mostly read fantasy (especially Tolkien) and crime novels.

IT never stops moving, and neither do I — right now I'm really curious about Rust.
