About Me

Born in Italy, I started programming in the 80s and enjoyed the Internet-free life in those years.

After fulfilling a lifelong dream to become a helicopter pilot, I retired from all that excitement and have returned to another passion of mine, coding. This time, in a much richer and more dynamic environment. I have a varied background that helps me understand not only the code itself, but how it will be utilized in a business environment.

I have been able to draw on the skills I developed as an Air Ambulance pilot and include them in my day-to-day activities to ensure maximum organization and priority-setting along with extremely clear communication.
