I am a Senior iOS Developer with 10+ years of experience across 33+ projects, based in Milan, Italy. I specialize in Swift, SwiftUI, and modern iOS architectures (MVVM, VIPER), delivering end-to-end mobile solutions. I also bring strong full-stack capabilities (React.js, Next.js, AWS serverless), solid CI/CD practices, testing discipline, and an interest in machine learning features. I am a self-organized, proactive, and autonomous decision-maker who values clear communication and collaborative teamwork. Beyond mobile, I enjoy shaping backend architectures, data modeling, and cloud infrastructure, and I thrive working with cross-functional teams to ship robust products end-to-end.
