●Torino, Italy/ The honest version

About.

Computer Engineering student, iOS developer, and someone who would rather ship something small than plan something large.

01

Background

Short version

I started with React Native, moved into Flutter, and ended up in Swift — because that's where the details are. Audio, animation, motion: the things you feel rather than see.

In summer 2026 I interned at Flo in Istanbul, inside a six-person iOS team. I started in UIKit with Storyboards to match the existing production codebase, then moved to SwiftUI as the team began migrating. Daily standups, code review with the senior engineer, the full release cycle. Two complete apps out the other end.

I use LLMs constantly for planning and code generation. I also make sure I can explain and defend every line that ships. That's the only version of this that's worth anything — and it's why I write about what I build.

Right now: finishing my degree at Politecnico di Torino, looking for a part-time or internship role in iOS, and slowly improving at Italian.
