00 · SPAWN POINT

Born between mountains, deployed to the north

Level 1 loaded in Monte San Giovanni in Sabina — a stone village up in the Sabine mountains, northeast of Rome. Current save point: Stockholm — one long fast-travel north.

01 · TWO THREADS

Manager by craft. Engineer at heart.

I run engineering the way great teams play football: clear system, high pressing, everyone knows their role — and the manager can still hit the pitch when it matters. I lead people, budgets and roadmaps, and I still read every architecture doc that crosses my desk.

void manager() {

Build & scale cross-functional engineering teams
Own delivery, budget and stakeholder alignment
Translate business strategy into technical roadmaps
Hire, coach and grow senior engineers into leaders

} // primary thread — always running

async engineer() {

Architecture reviews, platform design, API strategy
Scalable commerce & product-launch platforms
Cloud, data & event-driven systems (MongoDB, et al.)
Still dangerous with a keyboard — by design

} // background thread — never killed

02 · DOMAINS

Where engineering meets the P&L

A decade of building platforms where technology has a direct line to revenue.

/sales

Sales & Commerce

Engineering leadership for sales-facing platforms at scale — rapid, repeatable product launches for a global consumer brand.

d2c · commerce · go-to-market speed

/finance

Finance

Systems where correctness is a feature: reporting, reconciliation and finance platforms built for audit, not apology.

accuracy · compliance · data integrity

/payments

Payments

Payment flows people never notice — which is exactly the point. Resilient, secure, and boring in the best possible way.

AUTIZI(1)Engineering Leadership ManualAUTIZI(1)

--people-first: Teams ship products; managers ship teams. Hire for curiosity, coach for ownership, promote for impact.
--hands-on: Stay close enough to the code to earn technical trust, far enough to never become the bottleneck.
--business-fluent: Speak Sales, Finance and Payments natively. An engineering roadmap that ignores the P&L is just a wishlist.
--pragmatic: Perfect architecture that ships late loses to a good one that ships now. Iterate loudly, refactor quietly.

Forza Inter

Nerazzurro since day one. This site's blue? Not a coincidence. San Siro is where I deploy (WFH) my emotions every matchday.
