01 — about me
Born in Perugia in 1993, I have always been passionate about computing. After a science-focused high school diploma at the “Galeazzo Alessi” Liceo and a degree in Information Engineering from the University of Perugia, I moved to Florence to start my career in Quality Assurance.
Today I look at the whole software lifecycle, working closely with development, product and operations so that every release is robust, scalable and uncompromising for the user.

04 — from my linkedin
I write about test automation, software quality and how the tools of the trade are changing.
Test automation has turned into a derby between the veteran and the newcomer. But in an enterprise context the real question isn't which one to pick: it's how to make them work together. A hybrid model that doesn't choose, but orchestrates.
Read on LinkedIn05 — beyond code
Since September 2025 I have been attending the AIS Sommelier course. It is another kind of analysis: method, attention to detail and a rigorous protocol, applied to the glass instead of the code.
I am currently on level three, the last one, focused on food and wine pairing.
Italian Sommelier Association (AIS)
sommelier course · since 2025
Level one
From vineyard to cellar, plus the fundamentals of tasting technique.
Level two
A journey through the wine regions of Italy and the world.
Level three
The technique of pairing, since September 2026. The last step before the diploma.
Dry, elegant, and it never lets you down.
