Lottomatica is a large Italian company operating in the gambling sector. Lottomatica.it is their website, used by thousands of users per second, including many different services. I was a full-stack developer in the team responsible for implementing new features, maintaining and improving the AngularJS front end, evolving the Adobe AEM-based back end. While initially focused on improving the existing system, we also had to face a complete rewrite and redesign of the codebase to achieve compatibility with newer AEM versions.

While primarily a developer, being one of the few people in the team with enough experience on both the front end and back end, I was also often asked to provide feedback and suggestions to improve the design process for upcoming features.

In the last year, my team also received ownership of the mobile version of the website, which is a completely detached single-page app.

A complete information system to track people in a health facility from the initial admission or triage to the final billing. I was part of a team developing all back-end to front-end features based on stakeholder requests. One of the most exciting features we designed and developed was a flexible and highly customizable billing system capable of generating invoices for any exam, procedure, or service received by the patient.

In Italy, companies must choose between having a lunch service for employees or providing them with meal vouchers, and meal vouchers can then be spent in different restaurants. Paybay's mission was, as part of a larger company providing meal voucher services, to create and maintain an electronic meal voucher system allowing people to use vouchers just like a regular credit card. BPE stands for Buono Pasto Elettronico, which translates to "electronic meal voucher."

As a part of the main development team, I was responsible for maintaining and improving the core system and its integrations with secondary services. My team was also in charge of the maintenance and improvements of a few back-office tools and public-facing web applications.

While maintaining the core system was my only task, I've also proposed and, when allowed, implemented a few improvements that made the system more reliable and maintainable. Team collaboration was an issue at the time, so I introduced different tools and methodologies to my colleagues to improve our communication and workflows.

A simple free, open-source library developed in my free time. It aims to simplify performing an async resource load and caching the result. It started as a simple aid to store user information for ten minutes, and it became an excellent tool that I've used in many projects.

A system allowing companies to track a product through its entire lifetime, from the moment it leaves the factory onward. The system also provided features to help customers identify counterfeit goods.

It started as a university project and evolved into a small startup company. Along with the CTO, I designed the whole architecture, developed the base system, and became the development team leader when other developers were hired.

As a team leader, I supervised and helped develop Android, iOS, and Blackberry apps and made the necessary back-end improvements.

While the system worked very well, the company failed to generate the expected revenues so, after a few years, it was closed due to the lack of investors.

In my free time, and to experiment with React, I've created a single-page website acting as my curriculum vitae. This project is very simple, and it's based on React and Firebase.
