Stefano Maffeis

Software Engineer @ Memoria

Amo sviluppare soluzioni che portino valore a chi le utilizza, che siano automazioni casalinghe o architetture enterprise. Mi sporco le mani con il codice sin da quando ero bambino, ho un'esperienza decennale con .NET ma amo imparare ed usare anche altri linguaggi. Amo il backend ma metto mano volentieri anche al frontend. Amo i viaggi on the road, dove il percorso è più importante della destinazione, e così mi piace vivere anche lo sviluppo del software: un passo alla volta, aperto al cambiamento e orientato a mantenere alta la qualità in ogni momento.
