👋 Hello! #

I’m Federico, a software engineer from Italy: I studied and started my career there before moving to the Netherlands, where I still live nowadays. As a teenager I would spend part of my free time writing PHP websites for fun, which lead me to choosing Computer Science at university. Over the years I’ve worked with several stacks (PHP, Java, Clojure, Scala, Go) in a variety of roles: Web, Data, and Backend Engineer, as well as Team/Tech Lead. Next to my full-time job, I like to work on pet projects to learn something new, and I occasionally take side collaborations.

When I’m not working, I like to spend my spare time running, reading books, meeting with friends, writing down what I’ve learned/gone through, or playing with my little daughter (the order doesn’t reflect their priority 😉).
