Designer, developer, and engineering leader — working at the intersection of media, technology, and digital experience
I’m a developer and engineering leader with a multidisciplinary background spanning design, technology, and data. I approach digital products with a product mindset — treating technical quality, usability, and measurable outcomes as equally important, and front-end development as part of a broader product and organizational system rather than an isolated activity.
My professional path began in ICT consultancy within the public sector and continued across studios, agencies, and media organizations, where I contributed to complex digital projects in structured environments. Over time, I have worked across UX, front-end architectures, and digital strategy, taking on increasing responsibility in coordinating cross-functional teams, aligning stakeholders, and translating abstract goals into reliable, maintainable systems. This experience shaped my ability to operate within constraints, balance design intent with technical feasibility, and deliver solutions aligned with long-term objectives.
After years of contributing to large digital publishing ecosystems — applying a consultancy mindset across UX, performance, editorial platforms, and subscription systems — I am moving into a new chapter focused on engineering management within enterprise digital transformation and experience engineering. Alongside professional work, I develop independent prototypes and open-source projects, and write about the technologies that shape media and digital products.
Developed and maintained the digital ecosystem of major Italian publishing brands — spanning editorial platforms, e-commerce, and subscription systems. Contributed to UX improvements, performance initiatives, and front-end architecture decisions across high-traffic news properties, applying a consultancy mindset to internal product development within a media technology company.
Co-led a cross-functional team of designers, engineers, and researchers, delivering data-driven digital products for Italian and international organizations — from investigative journalism and research reports to interactive dashboards and branded content. Clients spanned news outlets, universities, foundations, and venture capital firms.
Developed data-driven editorial stories for major media brands and built experimental business intelligence dashboards for large enterprise clients — bridging data visualization, front-end engineering, and editorial design in a specialized data communication agency.
Contributed to the production of digital products — including e-commerce platforms and editorial websites — for retail and cultural clients, within an established Venetian design and development studio.
Co-founded a small design and development collective focused on UX/UI design and front-end development. Shaped project strategy and shipped work for museums, cultural foundations, and institutions, collaborating with independent designers, creative agencies, and cultural partners.
Co-founded a location-based social startup within the TechPeaks accelerator in Trento, designing and developing Mapnaut — a spatial layer for Twitter that allowed users to discover and share places through geolocated posts.
Graduated with a thesis on spatial interaction design — a concept for a social phone combining geographic awareness and augmented reality. Studied Interaction Design under Gillian Crampton Smith and Philip Tabor, within a program oriented toward human-centered and physical computing.
Earned a specialization in Communication Design with a thesis on interaction design fundamentals, supervised by Daniela Piscitelli. Built a foundation in visual communication, product semantics, and human-centered design principles.
Supported the statistical department of Regione Campania, developing and launching a new institutional website in 2008 and introducing Ruby on Rails into the department's technology stack — an early adoption that modernized their web publishing infrastructure.
