Project history
Owned technical design and delivery of multi-tenant services for Italian municipalities, including a managed file transfer platform and an EU AI Act information service. Automated geospatial publishing for 200+ production tenants with MySQL-to-PostGIS ETL and GeoServer. Standardized development across multiple Laravel applications with shared authentication, multi-tenancy, and CI workflows using Gitea Actions. Extracted a course management function into a standalone service as part of incremental legacy modernization.
Developed fault-tolerant Java microservices with Spring Boot and WebFlux for Electrolux's connected appliance platform, supporting device command scheduling and near-real-time processing of connectivity events. Built event-driven workflows using AWS IoT Core, Kinesis, and MSK, with services on EKS and data in MongoDB Atlas and Redis. Investigated production incidents, optimized reactive processing, and expanded automated tests and Datadog monitoring.
Developed multi-tenant Laravel and Vue.js platforms for Italian public administrations, including citizen services, digital forms, and payment integrations with Italy's PagoPA platform. Designed REST API integrations and refactored legacy PHP services into components with clearer responsibilities, introducing asynchronous processing to improve performance and maintainability.
