I'm a CTO / Lead Tech Developer with a strong track record of building and scaling travel tech platforms. I’ve grown a company's revenue from €600K to €6.5M by launching and expanding new travel products, with the Tours platform accounting for 64% of total revenue. I’ve led teams of 4 people to migrate from a monolithic architecture to distributed architectures for key projects, and I built the Tours platform which was later recognized by TTG News as the leading solution in the Italian travel market. I design and implement end-to-end software solutions, coordinate with external suppliers, and build operational dashboards to monitor traffic, bookings, and supplier interactions across platforms. I enjoy turning concepts into production-ready products and mentoring teams to align engineering work with strategic business goals.…I'm a CTO / Lead Tech Developer with a strong track record of building and scaling travel tech platforms.
