Philosophy, then software

I was born in Milan and went to a liceo classico — Latin, Ancient Greek, philosophy — before a master’s in Philosophy at the University of Milan. That training still shapes my work: designing software is a matter of keeping a long line of thought coherent for the people who will live with it.

My first job was in enterprise software: requirements, QA and SQL. From there I moved to the frontend, and to rich data-visualisation interfaces at Accurat.

Then came Codurance, where I trained as a software craftsman: test-driven development, extreme programming, clean architecture and deliberate practice. I carried those habits through full-stack work and legacy rescue at Lifull Connect, a complex React application at Artificial Solutions, and data-visualisation tools in ClojureScript at Pitch.

Since 2023 I’ve been independent. I consult on Android, Clojure and ClojureScript, contribute to open source, and design and ship my own apps: six on Google Play so far, and a seventh on the way.

Now, with AI

AI is part of every step of how I work. I don’t think it makes craft or taste obsolete; it makes them the whole job. The faster code gets written, the more it matters that someone knows what it’s for, what to leave out, and when it’s right.

Away from the keyboard

I live in Spain and work in English, Italian, Spanish or Catalan. Off the clock: kettlebells, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, electric guitar, and an Aprilia Tuareg 660.
