Full Stack & Backend Developer · Mantova, Italy · Open to junior roles in Italy or remote
I build and ship production web applications — not just side projects. Trained at 1337 Coding School (42 Network, <5% acceptance rate), where every project is peer-reviewed with no lectures and no hand-holding.
Real applications, live in production, serving real users.
| Project | Stack | Description |
|---|---|---|
| norservice.it | Next.js · React · TailwindCSS | Business website for an Italian renovation company — SEO-optimised, Core Web Vitals green |
| permessopro.com | Next.js · TailwindCSS · Node.js | Multilingual guide (IT/EN/FR/AR) for immigrants navigating Italian residence permits — mobile-first |
Both delivered solo from requirements to Linux deployment and post-launch support.

Minishell — Unix shell in C
C fork/execve Pipes Signal handling Readline
Full Bash reimplementation: lexer → parser → AST → executor. Multi-stage pipelines, heredocs, I/O redirections, environment expansion, 7 built-ins, exact Bash exit codes, signal-safe interactive mode. ~4,000 lines under strict 42 norminette constraints.
Java Banking Simulation — Self-study
Java OOP Design Patterns Multithreading JUnit5
