I was born in Italy where I graduated with a Master's Degree in Structural Engineering and Architecture. I moved to New York in November 2017 to work as a Revit drafter for a studio in Manhattan and from there I climbed my way up to my current position as a BIM Manager for a high-end company in Midtown Manhattan. Referee of basketball for over 12 years and musician during my free time, I love photography and movies along with technology and travelling. My goal is to develop a successful career carrying out innovative and game changing projects.
