About

Crafting digital
experiences since 2009

I'm a software developer based in Italy, specialized in iOS and Android development. I design and build apps from scratch through to App Store and Play Store publication.

My work spans native mobile development, IoT integrations, video processing with FFmpeg, RESTful backends, and cloud architectures on AWS and DigitalOcean.

I hold a Master's degree in Computer Engineering from Università degli Studi di Brescia, and completed my thesis at Imperial College London.
