About me

I’m a backend engineer based in Milan. I started out in consulting, working on the systems of large Italian telecom and banking companies, where I learned how much a careful migration is worth when millions of people depend on a service.

Then came digital trust — signatures and timestamps with legal value across Europe — and today fintech at Satispay, where I look after subscriptions and loyalty. Different domains, same thread: systems that have to be right, not just fast.

Engineering matters most to me when it combines sound judgment, shared understanding, and responsibility for what happens after release. I’d rather write a clear design doc than a clever abstraction, and I’m happiest when on-call is boring.

What drew me to backend engineering early on was the permanence of state: if an interface glitches, a user refreshes the page; if a payment or cryptographic signature engine fails, real money and legal trust are broken.

I enjoy working where trade-offs are concrete — balancing consistency with latency, choosing between synchronous boundaries and event-driven decoupling, and designing idempotency keys so network retries never cause duplicate side effects.

A great system isn’t one with the cleverest code; it’s one where failure modes are predictable, monitoring is honest, and the team can release on a Friday without holding their breath.
