milestones

How I got here.

research
The doctoral scholarship
Winner of the GMPF doctoral scholarship at Fondazione Edmund Mach, in Trento — the grant that turned a biotech degree into five years of real research.
startups
The leap into startups
A brave leap from academia into the startup world, at Nana Bianca. Two years that taught me how the whole digital world really works — and made me the developer I became.
consulting
The test of consulting
Put to the test in enterprise consulting, for large Italian and international brands. That is where I learned how you run complex projects and teams of specialists.
product
The leap into product
And finally the leap into product, at Aruba — where I hope to put all of it to good use.
