After the acquisition of a startup (WalkUp, a restaurant queuing system) I was given ownership of technically leading and scaling a new business unit designed as a flywheel for growing consumer transactions at our customers locations.We have built a booking system competing with the major players in the UK market. Acquired 5x more high quality restaurants and about 15x more consumers walking in restaurants as a result of our B2B2C products. Those products include embeddable web-app, react native iOS/Android apps, B2B react app as well as integrations with Reserve with Google and payment, crm and e-pos providers. This is supported by a constellation of go microservices, PostgreSQL, Redis, PubSub on GCP/GKE.Due to GDPR, designed and managed migration of 4 TB data from US Firebase to EU PostgreSQL as well as migrated data ingestion to consolidate on Dojo data lake.Over the last few years I scaled the team 5x, a complex task given the need to keep talent density high. Required a high degree of coaching, mentoring, implementation of processes as well as strong engineering skills to keep 99.95% SLO while delivering business outcomes at pace: ~150 releases/quarter.

Lead the development of the B2B web application and the graphql API gateway serving mobile native apps as well. Early bird in the company adopting and validating the most recent observability stack using opentelemetry. Other than leading a small internal team, I was asked to lead engineers from an agency developing an outsourcing project. Within the boundaries of that project we were able to create an offering of reusable web-components to be consumed in both react and angular web applications.

Led the establishment of a high-paced, iterative culture focused on rapid delivery, embracing imperfection and fostering innovation, resulting in accelerating presence in the French market timeline by a quarter. My time there preceded the IPO of 6 months.Drove architecture design leveraging AWS platform and REST. Delivered a cross functional and cross platform project orchestrating scrum of scrum sessions, prioritizing and unblocking dependencies and dealing with conflict/dependency management.Coached and mentored 4 Team Leaders through weekly one to ones to scale culture and velocity across a group of about 30 people.

Responsability of a stream of delivery, managing the backlog of a team of 8 people including me and one quality expert. Break down functional requirements into atomic Jira tickets so to iterate fast with quick scrum cycles (1 week). Cross team planning and scrum of scrum bi-weekly meetings with all the team leaders.Selected the technical stack of the new re-platforming project started in October 2016. Decided for cutting edge technologies that allow us to reduce the costs of maintainance and increase velocity. On top of react/redux we decided to manage side effects with redux-observables and RxJS because I think that functional programming is a must and need to be enforced so to reduce the amount of spaghetti-code. Codebase written in Typescript to improve the developer experience with clever Intellisense and increase velocity on refactoring time. Avoided CSS specificity problems and increased CSS maintainability, using css-in-js framework. Unit tests written in Jest/Enzyme. Backend for frontend written in Node/Express reusing react/redux stack to handle server side rendering of the homepage for SEO purpose.

Full agile build process working with a continuous delivery environment. Drive direction on use of CSS and JavaScript frameworks to create a full responsive website, as well as use of appropriate testing frameworks at a JavaScript unit level (Mocha, Jasmine) and browser driven acceptance test level (CasperJS, Webdriver.io).-Rebranded the entire booking flow using LESS and Knockout.js in a .NET MVC environment; CasperJs acceptance tests.-Implemented the new payment confirmation page using pure react components.-Implemented a spike around the new international flow using react with inline style and redux as flux architecture. Unit tests implemented with mocha.-Leaded the development on the entire implementation of the new booking flow on mobile web. Used as less dependences as possible and get a first load in less then 1.5 seconds. We achieve a great goal using flexbox inline styles on react UI components, no external UI libraries. Good reusability of react components achieved by normalizing all the data on the node.js server before landing on the redux store. Functional programming and one way data flow permitted us to be agile and write completely dumb, stateless and easy to test components. Good separation of concerns thanks to proper actions creations that were dispatching only the payload needed to the reducer functions to manipulate the state. Unit tests using Mocha and browser based acceptance tests using Webdriver.io.

Implemented a web application that allows hotels to interact with its guests. This application offers our partners the possibility to develop a mobile technology platform in order to engage and interface with their stakeholders.Developed a single page web app using angular.js framework and parse.com services, bootstrap template as scaffold.Developed the dashboard provided to our partners to control the informations to provide to their customers. It was a single page web app implemented using angular.js MVC framework, bootstrap template and REST services through parse.com cloud infrastructure.Implemented the android version of the mobile app. Cordova platform used to build the native mobile application using angular.js MVC framework and material design for angular as UI/UX framework; push notifications provided thanks to parse.com services.Worked in a multicultural environment using agile methodologies; the project has been presented at the BoomStartup Demo Day 2014.

I developed a role play game. That was implemented on a web app in multiple themed chat. Two years later the game was played nationwide and my interest in doing better took me to rewrite all the code using innovation technologies and an artistic vision to develop applications: PHP5 and MySQL server side; javascript with the prototypejs framework client side.The game application has been successful and in 2006/2007 there were two hundred of users at pick in the mean time, fifteen thousand of registered users.I sell that my first project to a manager in the Padua Area to dedicate myself to the studies. During the years I always was interested to web technologies, I worked with comet server and passed to ruby languages, I tried a lot of client and server framework but only in 2010 i fall in love: I discover node.js, the innovative platform languages that permit me to create all I want in javascript.
