Frequently Asked Questions
What sets you apart from other software engineers?
What sets me apart from other software engineers is my unique combination of backend development expertise and a deep understanding of software architectures, particularly in microservices and event-driven systems. With my academic background and my hands-on experience in different technologies, i aim to design scalable and efficient solutions with Agile methodologies, ensuring timely and high-quality project delivery.
What is your educational background?
I hold a Master's degree in Computer Science & Engineering from Università di Bologna, where I graduated with 110/110. My studies focused on Software Architectures, Domain-driven Design, and DevOps techniques, with my master's thesis dedicated to the analysis and development of an event-driven microservices architecture for Digital Twins. I also earned a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science & Engineering from the same university, graduating with 101/110, further solidifying my technical foundation in software engineering and system design.
How do you approach problem-solving in software development?
I approach problem-solving in software development with a structured, analytical mindset. First, I break down complex problems into smaller, manageable tasks and prioritize them based on their impact. I rely heavily on domain-driven design principles and my background in software architecture to ensure solutions are scalable and maintainable. I also apply an Agile methodology, working iteratively and incorporating regular feedback from stakeholders to refine and improve solutions.
How do you stay up to date with the latest technologies?
I stay current by constantly exploring new technologies, tools, and methodologies in software development. I regularly work on side projects, contribute to open-source initiatives, and participate in online courses and tech communities. This continuous learning helps me bring innovative solutions to the table and stay adaptable in a rapidly evolving field.
