Senior Backend Engineer | Java, Spring Boot, Microservices | Banking & Fintech

Ferrara, Emilia-Romagna, Italy

About

I'm a Senior Backend Engineer with 8 years of experience in Java and Spring Boot, mostly in banking and finance. I work on systems where data must be correct and changes can't break what already works: home banking, FX trading back-office, wealth management. Recently I took part in moving a home banking platform from a monolith to microservices, and I worked on an event-driven service that books forex contracts automatically. Before that I worked on a document management system for insurance companies and on the REST services of a wealth management platform used by banks. I care about clean APIs, automated tests and code the next person can read. On the side I built FiscoRadar (fiscoradar.it), an AI-assisted tool for Italian accountants. Native French speaker, fluent in Italian, working English.
