He is graduated in biomedical engineering at Politecnico di Milano. He began his professional career with a specific interest in object-oriented design issues, with deep studies in code-level and architectural-level design patterns and techniques. He is a former practitioner of Agile methodologies, particularly eXtreme programming, with experience in practices like TDD, continuous integration, build pipelines, and evolutionary design. He has always aimed for widespread technological knowledge; that’s why he has been exploring a huge range of technologies and architectural styles, including Java, .NET, dynamic languages, pure scripting languages, native C++ application development, classical layering, domain-centric, classical SOA, and enterprise service buses. In his own words: “A software architect should create a working ecosystem that allows teams to have scalable, predictable, and cheaper production.”
