The team

I founded Nephila in 2001 to pursue my passion for technology and the web. Since 2013, however, we've taken a new path in expanding the identity of Nephila and decided to grow and develop our company. Currently, I am a lead developer and I coordinate the technological development of the projects. I also lead the research and innovation activities. This allows me to participate to the open source community both through European conferences and by contributing writing code to many projects. If I'm not writing code you can find me in a pub, the place where I cultivate my passion for craft beers.

I joined Nephila after 8 years long collaboration as management consultant. I deal with business development and team management for my company and I coordinate digital marketing projects. I set work objectives and I usually involve everyone in my planning methods. I love talking but not beating around the bush. I capture my ideas in bullet points. I believe in investing energy in dialogue. I think this is a fundamental instrument to define and build up a unique strategy together with our customer. Besides being in the roller coaster of business and marketing, I love being in company of cats and adore organic products, Brunelleschi's Dome and travelling.

I joined Nephila in 2013, September. I am the wild-card member of the team. My hands are on wide range of work from web development projects, backend to front end and network support too. I am also the ‘James Bond’ of the company involved in rescue operations. Every day many guests of the University residences in Florence and troubled customers ask for help and I take care of them. I am a very patient person and willing to listen to the needs of others. I love to play the piano and to keep updated with worldwide e-sports scene.

I joined Nephila in 2014, December. I work in the accounts department of the company and deal with invoices and bureaucratic stuff. I am also involved in the human resources management. My motto both in the personal and professional life is "order, neatness and discipline". Since I also love interacting with people so I keep up with the interpersonal relations both with my colleagues and our clients. You will see me drowned in the papers due to my short height! Swimming is one of my favourite activities. I am a skilled swimmer for more than 15 years now.

At Nephila I manage customer relationships, organize events, select and widespread promotional and informational materials furthermore I conduct market research. I carry out my work with determination and passion, never abandoning my combative style. I love contact with people, dialogue and exchange, which for me represent experience and cultural growth. I have an innate fascination for Florence, the art that permeates it is always enthralling me. I enjoy reading, travelling and outdoor sports: jogging, mountain bike and tennis are part of my everyday' s life!

At Nephila I deal with front-end and web design. I like to give vent to my creativity and my ideas but above all I like to study solutions in line with the customer's business goals. Professionalism, accuracy and availability are my basic principles. I constantly update  in order to keep up with the times and the latest technologies. Even in my spare time I never stop for a moment! I enjoy practicing combat sports and riding my bike around in search of breathtaking landscapes; I'm also really fond of music, animation and videogames: from the most recent releases to arcade classics such as Space Invaders and Tetris.

I arrived in Nephila in 2018 and I am part of the marketing and communication team. I deal with content management and digital marketing: I write, I post on social media and I manage SEO. Writing is the main focus of my work and I live it like a challenge, balancing different styles and words, depending on what I am writing about, I have learned it’s fun and challenging at the same time. As a professional writer I can’t stand people who mistreat the Italian language and I am very good at finding typos. On my spare time, I read dozens of books, go to concerts and go hiking. Reaching the top is priceless, almost like finding the perfect copy!

I have officially been in Nephila since 2018 and I am part of the technical team. I took my first steps in the company dealing with QA, finding bugs and proposing new fixes, as well as community management. Now, however,  I am a project manager and I am growing in this role but I haven’t forgotten my love for the community. I keep organizing events with enthusiasm because I strongly believe in the community and bringing people together especially towards the technological sector. I have always been fascinated by the programming and technological world and Nephila has helped me improve my skills and myself. I love travelling, partaking in conferences or meetups and meeting new people that I. I also like cooking, reading, walking by the sea, my dogs Molly and Lillo, but especially good food.

I joined Nephila in October 2019 to be part of the technical team where I mainly deal with front end development. I am curious and methodical. I like when I can experience something new in the IT and when I can delve into what I already know. I am patient enough to enjoy analyzing problems and going deeper into details. When I'm not working, I follow non-tech interests. I am passionate about travelling and I love discovering the culinary specialties of the places I visit. I couldn't live without music, I play bass and enjoy watching movies, reading and playing board games.

I have been working in Nephila since October 2020. I am an administrative assistant and I am part of the helpdesk team. What I do is very interesting. I work with great commitment and passion, the same passion I feel when I leave for one of my travels around the world. In Alaska, for example, I left half of my heart. I also love to read, cook desserts and ride horses.

I joined Nephila in August 2022. I'm part of the technical team where I work on development in the front-end area. Patience is my weapon of choice to deal with difficulties and to find, with precision, the best solution among the ones available. Curious, proactive and helpful, I like to know new people and to increase my expertise both in the web development world and in life. I listen to music of various genres during the day and I consider it as my daily soundtrack. Traveling is another passion of mine: visiting new places, losing myself in different daily routines and finding other points of view to get inspired by.

I joined Nephila in January 2023, as a backend developer. I have been a digital native long before it became part of the mainstream. I got a MSX computer as a present, when I was 8, and I grew up having fun with Assembly, Pascal, and C. But, when I met Python and Django, it was love at first sight! Since code is read much more times than the times it is written, my aim is to make code clear and easy to read, as much as I can. Some of the things I am passionate about are: photography (lately, also on film), fountain pen inks, learning about new beers and collecting the weirdest cans, better if I found them out going around the small villages I love to discover.

I joined Nephila in June 2023. I've always been passionate about the world of computers, and my main role is that of an analyst: I work on the process that starts from a need, a requirement to fulfill, and leads to the birth of a software. Sometimes, it's the other way around too! In my free time, I enjoy reading books and occasionally writing, I take care of my small garden and my two Bernese Mountain Dogs. I'm studying ethology with a focus on dog training and education. I have a deep passion for hiking in the mountains and exploring caves, during which I also indulge in my love for photography. I always strive to stay connected with nature, as it brings me serenity and valuable insights that also benefit my work.

I have been collaborating with Nephila since May 2023. I am a Mechanical Engineer with a passion for technology that has guided me through a professional transformation resulting in my transition to Software Engineering. I have enhanced my skills in software design, development, and architecture with a strong focus on DevOps/MLOps and Artificial Intelligence. Determination is one of my strongest attributes. I consider myself a curious person, and I believe curiosity should drive our lives. I love animals and nature in all their shapes and forms; I enjoy the sea, the mountains, and all outdoor activities.

In August 2023, I joined the team as a Backend developer and as a DevOps to manage part of the infrastructure. I'm an extremely curious person and I enjoy learning new things, both in the professional field and in other areas. I like having fun with video games and board games, especially with good company. Music is an essential component of my life: I couldn't live without it. My musical interests range from classical to rock, but a significant part of my heart belongs to electronic music. Whenever I have the opportunity, I love to travel as it helps me relax and discover new landscapes, people, and experiences.

I joined the Nephila team as a backend developer in October 2023. I have a deep passion for a logical and mathematical approach to problem-solving, often preferring less obvious but more efficient solutions. I enjoy working with new technologies and dedicate myself to software development in various domains, which keeps my enthusiasm alive and allows me to continually explore new realities. I like to spend a good portion of my free time staying fit, with training and a healthy diet being essential parts of my life. When I travel, I prefer quiet and cool places, such as the mountains or Nordic countries. Among my hobbies, there are also video games, a passion that I will always find time for fostering.
