About
I’m an Italian Computer Engineering graduate based in Aarhus, where I’m studying for an MSc with a focus on cybersecurity. My work combines backend development, distributed systems and practical product design.
Through Pokoin, I build marketplace APIs, web interfaces and data pipelines. Recent work includes a Rust autocomplete service, Kubernetes overflow routing and PostgreSQL imports covering 52.9 million historical price observations.
My B2B internship at prduct focuses on how product information moves from suppliers to companies and retailers. I built an interactive Digital Product Passport assessment prototype that gives purchasing and sales teams questions they can answer and a clear picture of their data gaps.
Trajectory
Current software projects, B2B and industrial internships, and my studies in Italy and Denmark.
Experience
2026
Aarhus, Denmark
Built marketplace APIs and React interfaces, shipped autocomplete in Rust, and configured Kubernetes API overflow with PostgreSQL writer/replica separation. Optimized the home feed with edge caching and request coalescing, and developed transactional imports for large catalog and price datasets.
Internship
2026
Denmark
Mapped product-data handoffs, documentation ownership and data quality across suppliers, companies and retailers. Built and iterated a Digital Product Passport assessment website with purchasing and sales paths, product-data mapping and stakeholder feedback. The delivered website is a sprint prototype.
Education
2026–2028 · expected
Aarhus, Denmark
Graduate study with a cybersecurity focus. Selected courses include Distributed Systems and Security, Modelling and Verification, and Software Correctness.
Experience
Jul 2025–Feb 2026
Prague, Czech Republic
Coordinated digital communication, event activities and reporting with international youth-education partners.
Internship
Jan–Mar 2025
Salerno, Italy
Built a JavaFX HMI prototype for three simulated industrial machines. Integrated Modbus TCP data acquisition with timestamped measurements in MySQL and operator dashboards.
Education
2025
Salerno, Italy
Engineering foundation in programming, algorithms, operating systems, computer networks, databases and software engineering.
Portfolio
Marketplace services, card inventory, large datasets and B2B product tools.
Project
Trading-card discovery, pricing and seller workflows.
A marketplace with React web interfaces, shared APIs and provider-data integrations. I shipped autocomplete in Rust using Axum, Tokio and SQLx, configured Kubernetes overflow and PostgreSQL read replicas, and optimized the home feed through edge caching and request coalescing.
29 Sep 2026 load test, 8 concurrent requests: direct Pi API baseline compared with the serving path through the cached edge.
Project
A scanning desk and stock book for collectible-card inventory.
Connects phone capture, saved scan photos, card recognition and inventory positions. Work includes a Rust/PostgreSQL backend, React web app, Swift and Kotlin clients, and CardTrader and eBay integrations for listing and stock workflows.
Project
Making supplier and product-data gaps visible to B2B teams.
An interactive assessment website from my prduct internship. Purchasing and sales teams follow different questions through a product’s lifecycle, then receive a product-data landscape and practical next steps. Developed through stakeholder feedback for Digital Product Passport readiness.
Project
Provider datasets transformed into retail-facing catalog and pricing APIs.
Imported 951 historical archives into 32 monthly PostgreSQL partitions. Daily snapshot processing preserves source hashes, validates row counts and links explicit provider identifiers to Pokoin’s catalog. Transactional imports and resumable stages keep completed datasets readable during refreshes.
Historical data covers English and Japanese Pokémon, Feb 2024–Sep 2026. The 30 Sep 2026 snapshot contains 510,593 distinct products across categories.
Project
Collectible-card organization, search and inventory on mobile.
A Flutter application for organizing cards and accessing the Pokoin catalog. It brings collection and inventory workflows into a mobile interface, using shared APIs for search and card data.
Project
Machine measurements connected to operator dashboards.
A JavaFX prototype for three simulated industrial machines. Modbus TCP acquisition feeds timestamped measurements into MySQL, with dashboards for machine state, alarms, velocity and temperature. Developed during my Innovation Engineering internship.
Skills
Practical development experience, supported by graduate study in systems and security.

Guiding principles
Ideas and standards — not borrowed biographies. A concise map of how I think and work.
01
I use load tests, row-count reconciliation and repeatable imports to check whether a change improves the system.
02
I keep source identity, transaction boundaries and failure recovery explicit, especially when data crosses services.
03
A supplier, an operator and a sales team need different views of the same data. The interface should reflect the work they do.
04
I document decisions, preserve reproducible inputs and make failures visible so the next change is easier to understand.
Direction
I want to work on backend systems and data products where reliability matters to the people using them. My current projects give me practical experience from source data and database design to APIs and user interfaces.
Alongside my MSc, I’m developing my knowledge of distributed systems, security and software correctness. I’m interested in teams where I can contribute to real products and learn from experienced engineers.
01
Understand how services, storage and infrastructure behave together.
02
Apply security thinking to interfaces, access boundaries and data handling.
03
Connect technical decisions to a workflow and a useful result.
