Software engineer

I design and build software — backends, APIs and web apps — and weave AI into them, mostly with Python, FastAPI, React, Claude and OpenAI, including agent integration into existing systems. I care about clean, well-structured code, solid engineering, and shipping things tied to a real business outcome.

Sagras — screenshot
Sagras
Solo build
Interactive map of Sardinia’s sagre and traditional festivals — mobile-first, with the map as the protagonist (standard tiles plus Esri satellite). A curated, validated dataset of a few hundred events across the island, browsable by month, so you can always find what’s happening near you.

Garmin Handoff — screenshot
Garmin Handoff
Solo build
Automated pipeline that pulls my health and training data from Garmin Connect every morning, versions it as JSON in the repo, renders it in a React dashboard, and sends a daily email plus a weekly recap. A GitHub Actions cron drives the fetch, commit and redeploy end-to-end — a small, fully hands-off personal data product.

Telco Migration Suite
Professional work
Automation pipeline for a telco operator that processes inbound migration emails, extracts structured data with Claude, matches it across multiple CSV sources, and pushes validated records to the provisioning system over REST and SOAP. Processes a few thousand migrations per week and cuts provisioning time by ~90%.

Bonusly
Solo build
A smart guide to Italian state bonuses and incentives — search and filter national benefits by category (family, home, work, education) and ISEE bracket to find what you are actually entitled to. Mobile-first, clean UI, built as a fast MVP on a curated dataset.

Professional work
Internal assistant for call-center agents that answers questions on policy documents in natural language and opens the cited source directly at the referenced page.

Criminal Records System — C
Solo build
Public-safety records simulation written in pure C. Built on manual memory management — malloc / calloc / realloc / free — with custom structs and pointer-based dynamic data structures to store, search and manage records. No framework, no safety net: a deliberate deep dive into the engineering fundamentals of memory layout, allocation and pointer discipline.
