I'm a full-time, 100% remote Senior Protocol Engineer at Sovereign Labs working on ZK Rollup tooling; before that I used to work on The Graph as a Rust Software Engineer at Edge & Node. I'm also pursuing a B.Sc. in Computer Science at the University of Pisa and I'm the core contributor of FerrumFIX, a project that aims to bring first-class support for FIX tooling to Rust.
I have a great passion for performance and human-computer interaction, which converge in my interest for compiler technologies. I enjoy building foundational solutions, open systems, and developer tools that reduce the amount of friction when interfacing with software.
When I'm not in front of a computer screen, you'll probably find me somewhere cycling, snapping some pictures, or reading sci-fi books. 📖

My RustLab 2022 talk. Abstract:
What Rust patterns are most effective when designing useful abstractions with little to no overhead? In this case study, we'll be looking at the Financial Information eXchange protocol and how to build a crate with a large API surface without sacrificing performance.
