Experience
ASEM S.r.l. (A Rockwell Automation company)
2015 - Ongoing • Verona, Italy
Software Operations Manager
I am tenacious, resilient, and determined in pursuing my objectives, regardless of the challenges that may arise. Presently, I am at the helm of the software product “assembly line” at ASEM, with a particular focus on Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) and Quality Assurance (QA) processes. My ability to foster strong interpersonal relationships has been pivotal in achieving this outcome. I am aware that I still have much to learn regarding relational dynamics, and I am channeling all my efforts into enhancing the internal relationships within the group, as I recognize that a team’s value lies precisely in the quality of relationships formed among its members. I am confident that my dedication to this goal will serve as a valuable asset for the company’s future professional development and my own.
Quality Assurance Lead
In the Italian context, the search for proficient individuals within the Quality Assurance sector presents itself as a challenge, primarily due to the absence of a widespread software testing culture. Nonetheless, when presented with the opportunity to establish and lead a QA team, I approached this challenge with determination, despite its apparent insurmountability. As a leader, I have come to understand that communication and empathy are the cornerstone for cultivating a motivated and cohesive team. I structured the group’s work by emphasizing the significance of comprehending individuals and establishing effective communication. For a capable QA engineer, in addition to technical competencies, the ability to articulate software non-conformities clearly and precisely to developers is paramount.
Senior Software Engineer
I was seamlessly integrated into a cutting-edge web project, leveraging skills from my previous professional experience. However, right from the first day, I was assigned to an entire different project, requiring the use of programming languages I had not previously encountered. I embraced this challenge without becoming discouraged and grasped the significance of adapting to changes as an integral part of professional advancement. I also came to realize that the pursuit of excellence can be balanced with the necessity of making compromises, all while aiming to deliver utmost added value. This project presented a valuable opportunity to establish relationships with my new team colleagues, laying a strong foundation for my professional growth within the company.
Exor International S.p.A.
2005 - 2015 • San Giovanni Lupatoto VR, Italy
Senior Software Engineer
On September 29, 2005, after an hour and a half of interview, the CEO was so enthusiastic about my work history that he asked me to start the next day, making my first day of work as a permanent employee a Friday. The visionary CEO involved me in the design, development, and management of an Enterprise 2.0 project aiming to integrate blogs and wikis into a single tool, enhancing the exchange and retrieval of corporate information. These were five challenging years during which I acquired an understanding of the software product lifecycle stages using agile methodologies. Above all, I embraced the concept of change, seeing it as something to be embraced rather than hindered. I learned to patiently seek the best solution, even if it sometimes meant starting over. I realized that sometimes we win, but more often we learn. Since September 2010, I have been reassigned to the Research and Development department where, in addition to further strengthening my skills in the web domain, I had the opportunity to engage with software development for embedded devices. From June 2012 to March 2013, I managed customer training and product documentation for JMobile, the Exor International website portfolio, and its entire web presence across social networks. During these years, I have been exposed to the complexities of collaborating with multicultural development teams.
Freelancer Software Engineer
2000 - 2015 • Verona, Italy
I had decided to undertake a graduate program and needed a job that would allow me to take classes and prepare for exams. As freelancer, I provided comprehensive IT consulting services, ranging from software solution development to training courses. As an independent professional, I was able to fully finance my university studies and much more. Even though the work was rewarding, it was important for me to complete the project I had initiated. Thus, I decided to pause my activities and conclude my university journey. Shortly after graduating, in 2005, I was offered my first position as permanent employee, which I eagerly accepted. Following five years of self-employment experience, I had come to realize that I preferred channeling all my resources into projects realization rather than engaging in the constant pursuit of new clients, as is customary for consultants. Ultimately, I retained my self-employed status for another decade, continuing to serve existing clients and taking on a few new projects through word of mouth.
Gruppo 2F
1997 - 2002 • Verona, Italy
Web developer
The development of a website entails not only technical expertise but also entering into a relationship with the client to understand their needs and expectations, which must then be transformed into a product that reflects their image. My experience in teaching has certainly aided me in communication, but conversing with a client is a distinct skill that requires learning. Initially, it was intricate but once I grasped the process with the support of the sales department, things became more straightforward. After assuming the role of technical lead at the Verona office, I have enjoyed a considerable degree of autonomy in client management.
Insegnante
Shy and introverted, this first work experience undoubtedly aided me in developing my interpersonal skills. Frequently, I conducted introductory computer science courses in remote locations within the province of Verona during evening hours, catering to a diverse audience with varying levels of education. With humility, I acquired the ability to articulate complex concepts using language accessible to my students, resulting in regional recognition as best educator.
