Co-Author of "Node.js Design Patterns (Packt)" (https://www.nodejsdesignpatterns.com/)

I am a Software Engineer born in 1987, the same year that the Nintendo released “Super Mario Bros” in Europe, which, by chance is my favourite game!

My primary passion is code and I am extremely fascinated by the web, smart apps and everything that's creative like music, art and design.

I started coding at the age of 12 using my father's old Intel 386 with provided with the DOS operative system and the qBasic interpreter. I have a Master Degree in Computer Science and during the years I developed my engineering skills mostly as Web Developer. I consider myself an expert Php developer and I commonly adopt Open Source libraries and frameworks such as Symfony2 and Doctrine, but I also love Javascript, both client side (jQuery/Angular) and server side (NodeJs).

In the last 3 years I have been very close to the entrepreneurship world, working with different startups. I ended up being a co-founder of an ambition fashion-tech startup: Sbaam.com. With Sbaam I had chance to attend several events, competitions and acceleration programs in Italy and in Ireland.
