Hello there! I'm Gaetano. 👋🏻

I started building apps for Apple platforms in 2017 and have never stopped since.

I've worked as a software engineer at companies like Telepass, where I mostly focused on building features, maintaining design systems, and optimizing the developer experience. In my spare time, I enjoy playing video games, listening to music, and reading books.
