Hi, I'm Matteo Dardani, a remote software engineer based in Genoa, Italy, with 4+ years of experience building aerospace and naval mission planning systems for international defense clients, including Leonardo Helicopters. I specialize in C++17/20, Qt5/6, and SQL, delivering robust front-end, back-end, and plugin solutions for mission-critical environments. In recent roles, I contributed to NATO-deployed planning tools, integrated VR-Forces workflows, and improved testing and deployment processes to boost reliability and scalability. I'm comfortable working asynchronously in distributed teams and am available for full-remote opportunities from Italy, including EOR or Italian contracts.
