md Backend & web app developer · Florence

Solid backends.
Apps that just work.

I'm Michele, a developer based in Florence, building software since 2018. I design and build e-commerce, management software, SaaS and AI chatbots — from the database to the interface. In my spare time I make native apps in Swift and tools in Rust.
