About

I have always been driven by two passions: the precision of technology and the creativity of cooking. After a 7-year career as a Chef de Partie (leading teams across Italy, Ireland, Denmark, and Germany) I pivoted to my original interest: Software Engineering. I discovered that the logical rigor of coding is the perfect fuel for my mind. Since then, I have graduated from the prestigious 42 Berlin core curriculum, where I mastered low-level C programming, memory management, and autonomous problem-solving in a high-intensity, peer-to-peer environment. This followed an intensive 840-hour Full-Stack bootcamp, giving me a robust foundation in modern web architecture. Most recently, I contributed as a Full-Stack Developer at Need4Deed, building scalable features with Next.js. Having led teams in high-pressure kitchens, I bring a 'cool under pressure' mindset, a detail-oriented approach, and unique communication skills to every engineering squad I join.
