I'm a **Full Stack Developer** based in **Rome, Italy**, with over **7 years** of hands-on experience. Primarily *self-taught*, I learned by building real projects and maintaining production code, an approach that shaped my pragmatic, problem-solving mindset. I started exploring programming during high school and never stopped: curiosity drives everything I do.

My strength lies in tackling **complex technical challenges** that require deep analysis and custom solutions. I thrive in structured team environments and enjoy collaborating with other developers to ship reliable, maintainable software. I'm adaptable by nature and comfortable moving between different languages, frameworks, and environments as projects demand.

Beyond coding, I run my own **home server infrastructure** with Linux and Docker, where I test configurations and experiment with new tools in real-world scenarios. I'm currently diving into **AI integration**, *machine learning*, and *LLM-powered applications*, including building RAG systems. In my free time, I also design **open source 3D printable models** and share them with the community.
