About

Small work-oriented walk through my experience.

Small intro

Psst! Don’t want to read this stuff? Just have a look at the What I do (Recap) section.

During almost my entire life I’ve developed web apps, especially with PHP, using services like MySQL and OpenLDAP.
I’ve explored the Android and iOS world, too, natively and with cross-platform technologies.
I had different experiences as a sysadmin and network admin.
The mix of all these experiences has made me a good observer of the architecture of a service, partecipating in almost every aspect of the process.
6+ years of experience in the E-commerce world.
I passed the Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) with 95% (Scrum.org profile).
I passed the ITIL foundation certification with 95% (Credential ID 6102624.20701391).
I have covered the team leader position and the CTO position with great passion and love, mostly referring to the SCRUM framework.

Starting in 2019, I am working with the AI stack by Google in different forms.

More on my LinkedIn profile, or I will be more than happy if you want to get in touch.

Quick, Effective, reliable and high quality service! great experience! Thank you

Fiverr.com buyer | January 2020
Hi, I probably fall into a pretty narrow niche which is a front-end web developer with high levels of experience and low-level skills. This helped me gather an understanding of concepts that I could never hope to implement myself. Through further research, it will allow me to develop an e-commerce solution that is completely my own - And this is the merit of such a lesson. Lorenzo clearly knows his stuff and I am looking forward to creating my site and sharing it with him.
