About me

A geek with a passion for Yoga and stuff.

I'm a software engineer and also a registered Yoga teacher.
Currently dedicating passion to Specialty Coffee and Gin (not in an alcoholic way!)
Former lead organizer and speaker for the GDG Milan community.
Born with a focus on mobile, my focus is now on finding ways to automate as much as possible the digital tasks of everyday life so that people get more out of their free time.
Other than that, I enjoy watching TV shows, playing video games and board games, traveling and cooking.

Skills

A Flutter lover with an Android heart.

An ex Flutter pioneer who now wizards web scraping

Born a mobile developer, I'm now specialized in hacking the web to make automations possible.
Experience ranges from Web Scraping to LLMs, passing by Flutter and React, and backend is thrown to the mix
My motto is: if it works, why not automate it?

Yogamilan App

The app is not mantained by me anymore

Freelance work carried out in parallel with my full time job which involved the development of an application for the Yoga studio I currently practice to. The app allows the user to check notifications, Facebook feed from the studio, see available lessons and manage their bookings. Developed with Flutter, the app is available in both Play Store and App Store, under the publisher “Tobabo Srl” who provided me the deployment certificates.

And many smaller ones...
