Ciao! ✋

I am a mathematician turned Machine Learning Engineer turned Software Engineer.
I was born and raised in in Rome (Italy 🇮🇹), but I spent 6 years in London's (UK 🇬🇧) tech scene.

Writing ✍️

• 💬 I blog fairly regularly on A Learning Journal. You can subscribe to my newsletter to be notified when new content is published.
• 📕 I'm the author of Zero To Production In Rust, a hands-on introduction to backend development in Rust. You can buy a copy at zero2prod.com.

Speaking 🗣️

I have been speaking at conferences (QCon, RustFest, RustLab, CodeMotion, RustyDays, EuroRust) and meetups. You can find recordings and slides for all my talks here.

Work 💸

I am a Principal Engineering Consultant at Mainmatter. I was previously a Senior Engineer at AWS and a Principal Engineer at TrueLayer.

Open Source 🦀

I am primarily active in the Rust ecosystem.
Currently, my main focus is Pavex, a new breed of Rust web framework. You can learn more about it on pavex.dev.

My portfolio of contributions is varied:

• I wrote Build Your Own JIRA with Rust, a hands-on workshop to get started with Rust;
• I am the author of a bunch of Rust crates for various purposes. In particular:
  • wiremock-rs, HTTP mocking for black-box testing;
  • cargo-chef, a cargo sub-command to leverage caching in Rust Docker builds;
  • tracing-bunyan-formatter, a formatting layer for the tracing instrumentation framework;
• I spent more than a year contributing to the Rust numerical ecosystem (ndarray, ndarray-stats and linfa);
