About Me

Hello, I'm Miro! I am a Full-Stack Senior Software Engineer from Italy, living in Dubai.

I started coding at age 11. I earned my Bachelor's and Master's degrees from the University of Bologna with top honors (4.0 GPA equivalent), while working part-time to support my studies.

I've worked across the private, academic, and government sectors, building financial systems for the Italian credit bureau, conducting award-winning research at New York University, and working on national projects in the UAE, including the Space Agency and Ministry of Health. I currently lead development of a real-time data processing and visualization application in a restricted-access environment.

Outside of work, I built open-source projects which were adopted by hundreds of thousands of websites, totaling more than 400k downloads on npm, and 200k downloads on Wordpress. Additionally, I built a web app that reached two million users, and a mobile game with over 150,000 downloads.

Having worked across diverse areas, I try to approach each challenge with an open mind, choosing solutions based on the problem rather than just what I already know.
