The Early Days

I wrote my first lines of code at 14. In my first year of high school I'd ask for permission to go online — officially to play games, in reality to teach myself HTML and ASP. While my classmates were studying the textbook, I was already building things. That curiosity never went away — it just scaled.

By 18 I had already launched real projects — including online MMORPG videogames built with friends: persistent worlds, player economies, server-side game logic. It wasn't a career yet, but the instinct was already there — the urge to create systems that people actually use.

I studied Computer Science at Università Federico II in Naples — one of the oldest universities in the world — while freelancing on the side, learning everything the classroom couldn't teach me: clients, deadlines, real-world deployments.

2012 — 2014

The Freelance Era

At 22 I opened my partita IVA and went all in as a freelance full-stack developer. I joined Freelancer.com and, within months, climbed to the global top 10 and #1 in Italy — a position I held for years. Every five-star review was earned the same way: delivering more than what was promised.

I built for clients in Denmark, the USA, Norway, and Italy. Every project was end-to-end: requirements gathering, graphic prototypes, full-stack development, and deployment on servers I configured and secured myself. I've always been obsessive about details — quality was never a feature, it was the foundation.

In 2013 I founded Lasting Dynamics. No investors. No safety net. Just the conviction that if I treated every client's problem as my own and built software with uncompromising quality, the results would speak for themselves.

The First Company

In 2015 I incorporated Lasting Dynamics SRL, hired my first employees, and opened our first office in Naples. From that point on, the company became my masterclass: I didn't just write code — I learned to build an organisation. Development, software architecture, project management, administration, sales, pre-sales, marketing. I did it all, because building a real company means mastering every discipline.

I personally trained almost every person who worked with me. Quality is cultural — you don't enforce it with processes alone. You transmit it through standards, through code reviews, through the way you handle a deadline at 2am.

While growing Lasting Dynamics, I became the right-hand man for a growing roster of clients — from startups to SMEs to large enterprises. I managed projects for Papironet SRL, recruiting teams and delivering enterprise platforms. I led the front-end team at Intempus in Copenhagen for over four years of continuous delivery. I became the technology partner for SB Corporation in Tokyo — working directly with the president, who later wrote me a personal letter of reference.

For Brandbassador in Oslo I redesigned development workflows and built automated testing suites. And in 2019 I became shareholder and lead software architect at MindCap in Copenhagen — a Danish fintech where I proved that leadership and hands-on technical execution amplify each other. All while running Lasting Dynamics full-time.

Going Global

In 2020 I moved to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain and opened a new office — while expanding Lasting Dynamics' presence to Norway and, by 2022, to the United Arab Emirates.

The portfolio exploded. I launched VetrinaLive as Product Owner — an e-commerce SaaS platform managed from sprint prioritisation to go-to-market. I co-founded Astrea SRL, a university spin-off with Prof. Aniello Murano (EURAMAS Vice-President), building enterprise AI solutions.

I consulted for ETH Zürich on front-end architecture and UX, and contributed as full-stack engineer for Diagnostic Biochips in Maryland — a biotech developing medical-grade diagnostics.

In 2021 I stepped fully into the CEO & Tech Lead role. That same year the Dubai Royal Family selected us as their technology partner — one of the many milestones that took Lasting Dynamics from boutique firm to award-winning global company.

2022 — 2023

Operating at Scale

By 2022 I was leading technology across three continents simultaneously. At GiveCorporation (formerly Givebox) in Los Angeles, I managed a team of 50+ people across UI/UX, Back-End, Front-End, QA, PM, Product, DevOps, and Data Science — running full SCRUM ceremonies and driving the technical vision for a fintech payments platform.

At the same time, I served as Tech Lead for FWD Insurance in Singapore on Omne — a digital insurance super-app with a team of circa 500 people, launched across 15 Asian countries, 5 million downloads in 3 months, and impeccable delivery despite an 8-hour timezone gap. Coordination at that scale, that speed, and that precision is something very few people have experienced firsthand.

In 2023, I layered in the commercial dimension as Chief Sales Officer at Lasting Dynamics. I took full ownership of pre-sales, public tender strategies, and international business development — personally driving €3-4M+ in annual revenue.

This meant preparing technical and economical offers for EU-funded programmes — Horizon Europe, EIC, EDF, EU4Health — and government procurements published on the TED Publication Office. Every tender, every R&D project, every strategic bid was evaluated, structured, and delivered with the same standard I apply to code.

Innovation & The Future

In 2024 I took on the role of Chief Innovation Officer at Lasting Dynamics — driving the integration of AI across every vertical we serve: fintech, healthcare, insurance, defence, and quantum technology. From intelligent automation to predictive models, AI became the accelerator embedded in everything we build.

We built predictive diagnostics pilots with nanotech organoid models, deployed real-time bolus feedback systems for diabetic patients, and became a trusted partner in over €10M of EU-funded programs. In 2025, Lasting Dynamics was selected as a software & technology supplier for NEOM — one of the world's most ambitious megaprojects.

Beyond Lasting Dynamics, I founded a real estate company and invested in properties in Las Palmas. I've invested in crypto and in spin-off ventures — RoundRush, VetrinaLive, the software engineering academy LD Academy, and Astrea SRL.

Today I manage a portfolio of companies generating over €30M+ in cumulative revenue. The group has received acquisition offers of up to €15M.
