Born in the captivating landscapes of Abruzzo, Italy, I developed a fascination for the world of computers from an early age. Eager to explore the realm of technology, I embarked on a journey of learning during my primary school years.

Music found its way into my life through my father’s influence, guiding me towards the enchanting world of melodies and rhythms. While initially learning the piano, my passion soon shifted to the drums, leading me to become an integral part of several local bands.

At 19, I set my sights on Milan, where I pursued a degree in computer science. Simultaneously, my musical journey continued as I joined the renowned Italian songwriter Tao on tour, showcasing my drumming talents to the world. My professional endeavors flourished as I delved into the realms of IT, embracing challenges in network management, voIP systems, and programming.

A new chapter unfolded at 30 when I embraced the Netherlands as my new home. Within the esteemed halls of The European Patent Office, I lent my expertise to the development of an internal patent search engine. Collaborating with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I contributed to enhancing their online consular services.

Crossing borders once again at 35, I found myself in the vibrant tapestry of London. The pandemic did not hinder my determination; instead, I embraced new opportunities at Codurance, a challenge that fueled my growth as a professional. Amidst the turmoil, I played a pivotal role in a groundbreaking healthcare modernization project in the United States. Additionally, I empowered an international banking giant through my role as a Technical Coach, ushering in Agile practices and elevating team performance. Today I am bringing all my excellence in Element working on disrupting the regulatory path to bring medical devices to market effectively and quickly!

As a seasoned software professional and technical coach for high-performance teams, I approach my work with a holistic mindset. My vision extends beyond conventional problem-solving, encompassing efficient solutions, clean code and soft skills, a facet of my growth that I hold in high regard. Embracing methodologies such as Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and the Lencioni’s Theory, I’ve invested time and effort into nurturing effective communication, fostering teamwork, and cultivating leadership capabilities.

Guided by a commitment to business value, I offer guidance and support to individuals and organizations striving to excel in the dynamic software landscape. The fusion of my technical prowess and coaching acumen enables me to foster remarkable outcomes in my projects, propelling teams towards excellence.

Beyond the confines of the professional arena, I am an adventurer at heart. I challenge my limits through the rhythmic beats of drumming and the exhilarating heights of climbing. These passions not only infuse my life with joy but also enhance my analytical skills and determination to conquer any obstacle.
