Make learning a habit.
Focused on accessible interfaces, native web architectures, and teaching teams how to ship with less friction, less dependencies and more sustainable solutions.
01
I'm a Frontend Engineer, Design Engineer, AI Product Engineer, Accessibility Advocate, Speaker and Mentor with years of experience in the industry. I have a passion for building thoughtful, accessible and high-quality digital products that bridge design and development without losing craft.
My mantra is "Make learning a habit!" and I still build with the same curiosity that started in 1994.
I bridge design and development without losing craft: semantics-first HTML, CSS on purpose, progressive enhancement with JavaScript, and long-term maintainability.
I started professionally in 2001, moved into the web in 2003, and now focus on frontend architecture, design systems, accessibility, lean web thinking, mentoring, and public speaking. Italian is my native language, and I work comfortably in English.
I work best where product direction, interface craft, and implementation quality need to stay aligned.
I focus on frontend architecture, design systems, accessibility, performance, maintainability, and mentoring.
I also have experience in AI product engineering, helping teams integrate AI into real-world workflows and applications with a focus on practical value and engineering quality.

Freelance Consultant focused on Senior Frontend Engineering, Design Engineering and AI Product Engineering.
With years in the industry, I help teams and companies design, build and improve modern, accessible, high-performance and sustainable digital products.
My work sits at the intersection of design, development, AI and product. I translate business needs, visual systems and technical requirements into solid, scalable and maintainable frontend solutions.
As a Senior Frontend Engineer and Design Engineer, I work on UI engineering, design systems, component libraries, frontend architectures, semantic HTML, modern CSS, JavaScript, accessibility, performance and maintainability.
I have deep experience with React and mainstream frontend frameworks, but my approach remains grounded in clarity, reliability and long-term technical sustainability. I am equally comfortable working with vanilla JavaScript, Custom Elements, progressive enhancement and zero-dependency architectures built on the native web platform.
As an AI Product Engineer, I support teams in integrating AI into real-world workflows, tools and applications, with a strong focus on practical value, repeatable processes, product thinking and engineering quality.
I often help companies with accessibility and WCAG audits, frontend quality reviews, component design, design-system maturity, performance improvements, architectural decisions and more effective development workflows.
As a mentor and technical partner, I also support developers and cross- functional teams through hands-on knowledge sharing, technical guidance and collaboration between design, development and product.
I bring value both as a senior individual contributor and as a consultant who can connect vision, execution and technical culture.
My goal is simple: build thoughtful products, improve DevX, help teams grow and make the web better, one component at a time.
Mentor, Sensei and Co-Host @ DevDojoIT, focused on frontend education, knowledge sharing and community growth.
After years in the industry, I am in a phase where mentoring has become one of the most meaningful parts of my work. The web community has given me knowledge, opportunities, inspiration and a professional path. Today, I try to give part of that value back by helping developers grow with clarity, confidence and practical guidance.
At DevDojoIT, my role is centered on education, mentorship and community building. I support developers who want to improve their frontend skills, understand the web platform more deeply and build interfaces that are accessible, scalable, maintainable and respectful of users.
As a mentor, I help people navigate the constantly evolving frontend landscape, from semantic HTML, modern CSS and JavaScript to accessibility, UI architecture, design systems, performance and AI-assisted development workflows.
My approach is practical, honest and hands-on. I believe that good mentoring is not about giving shortcuts, but about helping people develop better mental models, stronger technical judgment and a more sustainable way to learn.
Through DevDojoIT, I contribute to a culture of sharing by creating learning resources, hosting live coding sessions, supporting workshops, encouraging technical discussions and helping developers connect theory with real-world practice.
I care deeply about making knowledge more accessible. This means explaining complex topics in a clear way, giving constructive feedback, encouraging experimentation and helping newcomers and experienced developers find common ground.
My mission as a mentor is simple: help people become more confident, more aware and more independent as developers.
The web gave me a career, a community and a craft. Through mentoring, teaching and community work, I try to pay it forward.
