About me
On a personal note
I'm originally from Torino in Italy, I moved to the Netherlands for my university studies in 2015, and I haven't left since. After my bachelor's degree in Utrecht, I settled in Amsterdam.
In my free time, you can find me cooking or playing board games (check out my collection!).
Career
I'm interested in web development with a focus on UX/UI design, but without sacrificing performance.
Fun fact: while I'm a web developer by trade, I studied economics first.
Full stack web developer
- Developed and maintained a suite of Web Components for the organization's design system
- Set up CI/CD pipeline for the review of Web Components in Storybook with temporary environments created on merge requests
- Worked on the complete rewrite and redesign of RIPE Labs
- Migrated legacy Pyramid applications to Django, increasing maintainability and performance
Full stack web developer
I was hired at Steward Redqueen as a data science intern, but soon transitioned to a web developer role, as we started building web applications and dashboards as frontends to our economic models.
I learned a lot as I was the only in-house developer at the time so I couldn't delegate and I had to solve all issues on my own.
- Developed economic models to calculate several impact measures, based on the research of senior colleagues
- Built multiple React web applications with reusable components and interactive visualizations as a frontend to the model, accessible through a REST API built with Flask
- Greatly improved offline behavior and performance by storing data in IndexedDB, instead of memory, as security requirements did not allow database storage server side
- Containerized the applications for easier deployments
Education
BSc Economics and Business Economics
- Graduated cum laude from the honors program with a thesis on “The Effect of Performance on NBA Playerʼs Salaries”
- Went on exchange at the University of Western Australia, and took computer science classes for the first time “Problem Solving & Programming” and “Systems Programming”
