I have been writing software professionally since 2016. I started on the backend and on mobile — Java and Objective-C — building apps and the microservices behind them at a startup until 2019.
After that came a stretch as a backend developer on Java and .NET for one of Italy's large insurance groups: big systems, long-lived code, and a useful education in what happens to software that has to keep running for a decade.
Since then I've moved into product-focused full-stack work, which is where I've stayed. Somewhere in there I also left Italy for Tbilisi.
