About Me

Hi! I'm Luca, originally from San Marino—the world's oldest republic. I've been living in Dubai for several years, where I've turned my passion for technology into over 15 years of career in banking, fintech, and event technology. I'm a technology leader who loves getting hands dirty with code just as much as leading teams and digital transformation projects.

I've had the privilege of working on significant projects like Mashreq Neo, Mashreq's UBO platform, and directing the technology infrastructure (and not only) of Info Salons Middle East which stands behind some of the Middle East's largest events: GITEX Global, Gulfood, IDEX, and the World Defense Show. My approach? Scalable systems, cloud engineering, DevOps, and a healthy dose of AI where it makes sense (and where it doesn't just become marketing buzzwords).

When I'm not in front of a screen debugging code or exploring the latest AI innovations, you'll probably find me in the water surfing or kitesurfing, or tennis court, or immersed in some video game (because even VPs need to unplug). I firmly believe technology should serve people, not the other way around. And yes, I spend more time than I probably should experimenting with ChatGPT, Claude, and everything AI has to offer—it's my digital playground.

What drives me? Infinite curiosity, respect for the team, and the belief that the best systems are born from the balance between innovation and pragmatism. If you're looking for someone who can translate ambitious visions into solid architectures, manage teams with empathy, or simply chat about technology, sports, or parenting in the digital age—I'm your guy.
