Graduate of a Master's Degree MIAGe (Computer Science applied to Company Management), I am interested in new technologies and their use within an Agile environment. For this reason, I am keeping a blog on this topic.
I am currently working in London for Expedia, a leading online travel agency. I am employed as software engineer and participate in projects of international scope.
Always eager to learn and make new connections, you can usually find me at popular tech meetups or volunteering at some conferences like Devoxx UK or CoderDojo.
