Software Engineer who loves solving problems and building things that work.
About Me
I'm Cafa, a Software Engineer based in Milan with 5+ years of experience in backend, infrastructure, DevOps, and blockchain. I currently lead projects at Efebia, where I've grown from backend developer to project lead, tackling everything from CI/CD pipelines to Web3 solutions.
I studied Computer Science with a focus on Music Information Science at Università degli Studi di Milano, and I have a background in audio engineering. When I'm not coding, you'll probably find me playing guitar.
I Solve Problems
What I enjoy most is figuring things out. The tools change all the time, the curiosity doesn't.
System Design
I love when a complex problem starts making sense. Breaking it down, finding the connections, sketching the architecture. That's where the fun starts.
Full-Stack Development
Backend, frontend, whatever sits in between. There's something satisfying about building end-to-end and seeing all the pieces come together.
Infrastructure
CI/CD pipelines, Docker, cloud vs self-hosted, debugging a deploy at midnight. It's a puzzle, and I genuinely enjoy it.
The Why, Not Just The How
I'm curious about the reason behind what I build. Understanding the 'why' makes me a better problem solver, and keeps the work meaningful.
Blockchain & Web3
Smart contracts, decentralized logic, a whole different set of rules. It's a fascinating space and a different way to think about problems.
Give me a problem and let me figure it out. It's where I do my best work.
