01 / ABOUT

MY APPROACH

Technology works when the pieces connect.

I am a Software Solutions Architect Engineer with 8 years of experience across enterprise, Insurtech, and consulting. I design distributed systems and scalable, reliable, maintainable platforms, combining microservices, event-driven architecture, and cloud-native, hybrid, and on-premise solutions. I support products end to end: architecture, backend, system integration, web, mobile, and AI workflows.

Software Solutions Architect

Consulting · Catania

I define architectures and technical decisions while building POCs, MVPs, internal applications for business workflows, and cross-platform mobile apps for end customers across industries. I design APIs and integrations with external systems, supporting teams from solution design through release.

I have built chatbots that retrieve database data through MCP services and tool calling, and ingestion pipelines with AI agent-driven processing and orchestration.
