My name is Francesco and I am from Sicily. I have been passionate about technology since childhood, earning me the nickname 'the tech guy' in my family. Problem solving has always fascinated me, from playing with Rubik's cubes as a child to playing chess today, my favorite hobby. Programming naturally became a way to channel this passion. As I grew up, I realized that this was the career I wanted to pursue. In 2017, at 22, after briefly working in another field, I started my journey into the world of IT. I am an intermediate full stack developer with experience in all phases of the development lifecycle for dynamic web projects. I thrive in DevOps oriented environments on large architectures where it is necessary to ensure scalability, reliability and performance. I am always looking for ways to expand my knowledge and experience.
