About Me

Building real-world solutions while deepening my expertise in computer science

What I Do

I'm a full-stack developer at Socialit and a Master's student in Computer Science at the University of Trento, specializing in Data Science. My work bridges the gap between academic knowledge and practical software development: I get to apply what I learn in the classroom directly to real-world projects.

At Socialit, I'm involved across the entire application lifecycle: from functional analysis and system design to implementing features and working closely with clients to deliver solutions that evolve with their needs. This end-to-end exposure has given me a deep understanding of how great software is truly built.

What drives me is precision and curiosity. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can tackle complex problems, learn from others and continuously expand my skill set, whether it's picking up a new framework or diving deeper into data-driven decision making.
