Hi, I'm Carlo, an Italian passionate software engineer working for BeDigiTech Solutions a consulting company in Rome. Along the years spent in the beautiful Amsterdam (also known as the Venice of the North) I gained proficiency in building software and web applications making use of different technologies and programming languages. On a personal level I find myself an enthusiastic and self-motivated person, committed to constantly improve myself by learning new technologies and frameworks as well as service design patterns and system architectures.
Other professional interests
Jump out from mainstream patterns to look at things from another perspective and with different eyes
Gained experience with SQL and NoSQL DBs. Choose the best storage to match the business needs
Highly experienced in creation of new technologies by choosing the right stack for the right purpose
Programmers spend more time on debugging than writing code. Being able to not only pinpoint software problems but also use deductive reasoning to solve these issues is crucial
Delivering services over the internet will help your business to lower the costs, increase data security, as well as your infrastructure to run more efficiently and scale as your needs change
Software development entails being able to catch and analyze users’ needs and then design, test, and develop highly valuable software to meet those requirements
Thanks to the diversity of the companies I had the pleasure to work in during my work experience, I got the chance to gain high valuable skills mainly by following their different structures and processes. In most of the cases rather than traditional software development, like the Waterfall method, companies (sooner or later) moved towards the Agile project management and Scrum getting a way better allignment between the business side and IT.
Track: Internet and Web Technology (joint degree programme of the University of Amsterdam and VU Amsterdam)
