Ciao 👋 !
I'm Leo, a backend developer by day and compulsive tinkerer by night. I started my journey into the wonderful world of software development as a data engineer while pursuing my MSc in Data Science, and I've never stopped growing and learning since. After three years working across companies big and small across Europe, I decided to embark on an adventure and move to China to take part in the development of the AirVisual mobile app and data platform as a backend engineer, providing millions of users worldwide with up-to-date information about the air quality in their community. When I'm not tinkering with side projects or crazy software ideas, I cultivate various hobbies to stay creative and in shape—writing fiction, cooking, studying Mandarin, and hitting the gym.
On this profile, you'll find everything from full-stack apps and small POCs to frameworks and coding challenges. I have a particular fondness for "Build your own [X]" challenges, so expect to see plenty of those here. I love building things from scratch and understanding how they work under the hood.
Buona permanenza! (that's "Enjoy your stay" in Italian)
Current Focus:
🔭 Working on iedit - a neat little text editor built in Rust for Linux and Mac OS.
