About
Graduated with full marks in Computer Science from the University of Milan. I worked for years, during my school and academic studies, as a freelancer on behalf of companies and private individuals. At the same time I had the opportunity to experiment with new technologies in my free time, ranging across various areas of the sector from web apps to embedded systems. I currently hold the position of technical lead at Zerouno S.r.l., where I keep myself constantly updated day by day, leading a team of developers in their professional growth and taking care of implementing architectural solutions that increase company productivity and efficiency. Sideways as a hobby, I am fascinated by following the financial markets, in particular the technological sector, increasingly trying to understand what the factors that move them are and how to analyze them. Since I was a child I have always been curious, competitive and hungry both in the sporting and personal fields, I have never been satisfied with the goals achieved and it is probably also due to these characteristics that, just mentioning the professional field, I have achieved relevant corporate positions at 23 years old and completed dozens of projects.

Bachelor Degree in Computer Science
2019 - 2021
University of Milan
After receiving a scholarship for the results achieved during the first academic year (2018-2019), I obtained, in 2021, a degree with full marks in Computer Science from the University of Milan.
The beginning
Since my childhood, I have been typing on a keyboard and wrote my first lines of code for an online video game in middle school. At the same time, at the age of 14, I created a social network as my first personal project. It was functional but never really launched online. Then, just a year later, I had the opportunity to develop a standalone application at Encodata S.p.A., which is still distributed and in use today.

CoReVe Project for Tender Digitization
Project Details
- Date: 04/2023
- Project Duration: 3 weeks
- Technologies Used: NodeJS /w Strapi, Angular /w PrimeNG, Brevo, OIDC Authentication /w Keycloak, Cloudflare, Docker
- Team: 1 Product Owner, 2 Sviluppatori
- My Role: Software architect, Code Reviewer, Technical Mentor
Project Description
In this innovative project, our goal was to transform CoReVe's traditionally paper-based processes into an efficient and intuitive digital system that simplified the tender subscription procedure. We were tasked with developing a system for creating digital tenders, aimed at municipalities, entities, and companies. The main challenge was to digitize existing paper forms into dynamic forms, simplifying the compilation process and significantly reducing formal errors through automatic validation functions.
Features and Results
- Digitalization: Creation of dynamic forms that guide the user through an intuitive and intelligent compilation process, minimizing errors thanks to the system's automatic validation.
- Security and Legality: Implementation of a system for generating PDF documents at the end of the compilation process, which can be digitally signed or printed for a manual signature, ensuring the legal validity of submissions.
- Technological Innovation: Use of advanced technologies such as NodeJS with Strapi for the backend, and Angular with PrimeNG for a customized frontend, in addition to the implementation of OIDC Authentication with Keycloak.
My Contribution
As an integral part of the team, my role focused on laying the groundwork for architecture and code review. I quickly gained expertise in the new frameworks used, providing essential technical guidance to the team and ensuring the project's objectives were met within tight deadlines. Additionally, given my corporate role, I supported other developers and participated in meetings for parallel projects, demonstrating versatility and multi-project competence.
Priority Management and Time Optimization
A crucial aspect of this project was the effective management of timelines. As the tender was an officially binding document with a set publication date and time, we had to adopt a strategic approach in managing tasks. To optimize time, we decided to postpone all backoffice operations that were not immediately necessary for the tender's publication. This allowed us to focus on the absolute priority: the development of the frontoffice part accessible by municipalities, entities, and companies. This decision ensured that we could meet the stringent deadline without compromising the quality and functionality of the system, demonstrating our ability to adapt effectively to client needs and time constraints.
Refactoring and Optimization of jPuzzle
Introduction
Upon joining Zerouno, I encountered their flagship product jPuzzle: an extremely modular ERP system that concealed several technical gaps behind an old-style but functional and pixel-perfect frontend.
Initial Challenge
My first hands-on experience with the system immediately presented a challenge: excessively long compilation times. A simple 'ng serve' command required over five minutes to compile the application, a significant delay that caused each developer to lose a considerable amount of time for every small change made.
Strategies and Solutions
I began exploring ways to reduce compilation times, focusing on various configurations and optimizations. This process included:
- Removal of Unnecessary Steps in Development Mode: By examining the Angular compiler configuration, I identified and disabled some options that were slowing down the compilation, such as optimization and the generation of a single bundle.
- Review of the Configuration File (tsconfig.json): I analyzed and optimized the TypeScript configuration file to ensure that only the necessary files were included in the compilation.
- Packaging and Use of Nx: Facing the complexity of a large monolithic application, I adopted the approach of dividing it into smaller, more manageable npm packages, using Nx for efficient management. This allowed for incremental and parallel compilation, drastically reducing compilation times.
- Application of the KISS Principle (Keep It Simple, Stupid): An important lesson learned was the simplification of the code. By eliminating overengineering and reducing the amount of code, I was able to maintain 100% of the functionality removing a big quantity of the existing legacy code (following the Pareto principle).
Results
Thanks to these strategies, I was able to reduce the compilation time from five minutes to just a few seconds, greatly improving efficiency and collaboration in development. This project demonstrated the importance of a flexible approach and critical thinking in solving technical problems.

Description
The project involves creating a 32-bit RISC architecture, inspired by the MIPS architecture, featuring a reduced instruction set architecture (ISA) and an ALU for integer number processing. Instructions are entered into the Instruction Register through Logisim's editor. Upon activating the clock, the instructions are executed sequentially until the last one in the IR. To demonstrate functionality, a program is loaded that inserts 6 elements into the main memory, each 4 bytes in the form of an array. It places an element k in register $a1, scans the array, and sets register $v0 to 1 if the element k is found, 0 otherwise.

Description
The core idea was to create a functional yet unobtrusive attachment that could be mounted at ear height on a helmet. The pieces were modeled in Blender, fitting perfectly on the lace of the helmet, ensuring a secure fit. The primary function of these attachments was to provide anchor points for a COVID-19 mask, thereby allowing users to wear masks comfortably without having to uncover their ears or adjust the helmet fit.
