I’m a software engineer with an analytical and hands-on business mindset. I craft tailored solutions to help people and businesses simplify their operations and achieve their goals. My main professional interest is to work on complicated and engaging problems that can have a positive impact. My primary domain knowledge areas are mobile development and managing software engineering teams; I also have experience in backend development, data science and bridging the gap between engineers and business stakeholders. I enjoy automating processes to increase efficiency and focus on what matters to me: delivering qualitative results and meaningful solutions that can help people.
I studied Computer Science at the University of Milan, and moved to Helsinki in 2017 for a one-semester exchange program. I quickly fell in love with the city and its nature, and decided to stay. For the first two years I worked at Codemate as mobile developer, where I also enjoyed taking part in the managerial and design sides of projects. I’ve then worked at Nightingale Health, where we provided personalised and comprehensive health data based on blood results to show how lifestyle choices affect health and to contribute solving chronic diseases.
I’ve then been part of the Health team at Oura, making accurate health information personal and accessible to everyone by combining advanced sensor technology and unobtrusive design, and delivering precise and critical insights to help people build good habits and harness their body potential. Currently working as Technical Manager: automating and standardising processes, cooperating with engineers and business stakeholders by bridging the technical gap and optimising the engineering organisation and operations.
In my spare time I tend to forget about technology and appreciate what nature and art have to offer. I grew up as an alpinist and competitive triathlete, currently I climb intensively and compete in sailing races. I’m also an avid classical music listener, recreational chess player, casual opera singer, mechanical watch enthusiast and passionate about behavioural economics.
