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 have a strong interest in producing web apps with a focus on UX/UI design, without sacrificing performance.

Fun fact: while I'm a full stack engineer by trade, I studied economics first.

    As a member of the Ancillaries team I architect new features based on product requirements, implement features based on architectural decisions, company policy and designs.

    Full stack engineer

    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
