Cover Letter

My name is Ivo and I am an Italian agile software developer who loves coding and solving problems in a simple yet creative fashion. During my years of web development I have grown a strong passion for fronted development which led me to a good understanding of its underlaying technologies. I love hacking the hell out of web apps and getting a grasp of cutting edge technologies in order to keep up with time and deliver the best user experience possible.

While user experience still plays a big role in what I enjoy doing, I've learnt how important it is to write stable yet maintainable and scalable backend solutions. Even though I started out with PHP, I soon naturally came closer to the NodeJS environment while still embracing more "elegant" technologies such as Ruby or Java either adopting frameworks or by implementing architectures from scratch.

I discovered the Agile Manifesto and eXtreme Programming back while joining XPeppers in 2013 and I’ve tried my best to apply either values and principles ever since. I’m firmly convinced that human interactions and proactive collaborations are key in building great products and writing great software in general. In all the projects I have worked so far I’ve experienced the benefits of practices such as Pair Programming, Test Driven Development, Continuous Delivery and Infrastructure Automation.

Things I'd like to learn

I would like to explore both Elixir and Scala in the near future because of their functional approach and focus on scalability. Furthermore I'd like to gain a better understanding of ReactJS, a great library I've only gotten the chance to scratch the surface of though I think has great potential.
