Experience
Engineering Manager, Mobile Platform
Platform strategy · Delivery across three teams · Developer experience
I moved into this role after several years as Technical Team Leader for the iOS team, and most of it has been new to me: three platforms instead of one, decisions that land on people I do not work with every day, and a lot less time writing code. The work is making the mobile platform easier to build on, and learning where my old instincts as a tech lead stop being useful.
iOS Technical Leader
Objective-C to Swift rewrite · Modular architecture · Multi-country · CI/CD
Five years on the iOS team, split between the product and the people building it. The largest piece of work was rewriting the main app from Objective-C to Swift, module by module, while it kept shipping: that is where the modular architecture and the multi-country support came from. The rest of the time went into the CI/CD we still use, and into the engineers who now run most of it themselves.
Co-Founder
Y Combinator interview, Winter 2014 · First Italian company invited
We tried to build mobile apps visually, at a time when everyone was hand-writing view code. It got far enough that Y Combinator called us in: we were the first Italian company interviewed in the Winter 2014 batch. We did not get in, and the company did not survive, but three years of building a product from nothing taught me more than any job since.
iOS Engineer
Indie work · Small teams · Mentoring
I started out with Java and Obj-C in 2006, then moved to iOS in 2008, when the SDK was new. These were the years I sharpened the craft: shipping my own products, working in small teams, and meeting people I learned a lot from.
