About

Curiosity beyond the code.

I'm from Argentina, hold Italian citizenship and call Málaga home. Right now, I'm studying in Milan. I'm drawn to backend development: organizing data, thinking through architecture and understanding what makes a project work.

Java is my strongest language. My own projects also give me room to explore Python and AI tools, reviewing the code and learning from each decision.

Away from the screen

Out on the water, too.

I've raced sailing dinghies since childhood and spent four summers teaching people to sail at El Candado. The focus, decisions and teamwork are part of what I enjoy about the sport.
