Born in 1986 in the beautiful city of Cagliari on the island of Sardinia, Italy, my life took a turn that even I couldn't have predicted. At the age of 6, my father made a purchase that would forever change the course of my life. He bought our family's first computer, spending almost an entire month's salary on something he barely understood. But that computer became my gateway to a whole new world.

Growing up, my passions were twofold: technology, thanks to that first computer, and basketball, a sport I fell in love with at the same age. The basketball court was where I learned about teamwork, discipline, and the thrill of competition—lessons that have stayed with me throughout my life.

My academic journey took me to the University of Cagliari, where I pursued electronic engineering. Though I didn't complete my degree, those years were far from wasted. It was during this time that I ventured into entrepreneurship, founding my first startup, Admunity. Despite its lack of commercial success, Admunity was a personal triumph. It taught me how to build real technology platforms from the ground up and gave me invaluable insights into the digital world.

This experience created the way for my next chapter. I was hired by Accenture as a software engineer, a role that aligned perfectly with my passion for e-commerce and the expertise I had gained through my startup journey. After three rewarding years in Italy, my career took me to Milan, and then to the bustling city of London.

The move to London marked another significant milestone. I accepted an offer from IBM, hoping to expand my horizons beyond the e-commerce space. This hope was more than fulfilled. At IBM, I was exposed to a wide range of industries, technologies, and brilliant minds, tackling real-world problems and contributing to projects that made a difference.

But life isn't just about work. I've also embraced other passions. I became a runner, a wine lover, a blog writer, and a dog owner. And now, I'm preparing for a new adventure—marrying my Greek partner. From the young boy in Sardinia fascinated by a new computer, to a professional in London preparing for marriage, it's been a journey of growth, learning, and embracing every opportunity that comes my way.
