Who

Product engineer whose career has been exclusively in small startups, building a Web App to help scientists design experiments, an SDK to add real-time collaboration to your SaaS product, and the only CRM you need.

How

Born and raised in the middle of nowhere in the south of Italy. Served in the Navy for a couple of years, then bought a one-way ticket to London and never went back.

Initially worked in hospitality full time, but then decided to study to find a more intellectually challenging job. Studied "Creative Computing", which is a mix between computer science, electronic engineering and design.

At the end of the first year in University, joined Synthace as a QA engineer. After a year, the then frontend team lead Jackson Gabbard asked me to join his team.
After contributing heavily to Synthace's frontend for a couple more years, got poached by Jackson, who had left to co-create his own company, Cord.

After three amazing years at Cord, building some really cool tech (which has been opensourced), the company folded in the most graceful way.

Started my first real job search, and after a month and four offers decided to join Attio.
