GIS specialist and software architect at GeoSolutions, where I lead the Python and Django team.

I've started my career as a GIS/EO data scientist and Spatial Data Infrastructures specialist, based for the most part on open source technologies and business models. In this context, I've worked for several public institutions and private companies, as a consultant, developer and solutions provider.

I've had the opportunity to contribute to and lead the development of several projects, ranging from mobile apps and web platforms to data infrastructures and distributed data processing pipelines.
Whatever the kind of product it is, I enjoy translating a customer idea into an effective solution.
My current main technical focus is software design and product management.

Hobbies? Sound design, music technologies, and programming.
