Senior Software Engineer in Japan

Hi, I'm Enrico!

For more than 10 years, I've built and improved web applications that people rely on in their daily work. I enjoy understanding how systems are used, untangling older code, and finding practical ways to make things better.

I like staying involved beyond writing code—from the initial problem to deployment and long-term maintenance.
