Short Professional Curriculum Vitae

I currently work at Just Eat Takeaway in London as Principal Software Engineer / Technical iOS Lead where, since the beginning of 2015, I have been focusing on the consumer iOS apps. I've built from scratch and led new iOS teams (up to 10 iOS engineers). I've established teams and development processes. I've worked across teams and on different projects, from company rebrand, to the complete redesign and revamp of the entire app architecture to enable product and tech unification. The most remarkable work I've led is the complete modularization of the iOS product to enable globalization in all the markets legacy Just Eat operates.
Previously at Beamly, Badoo, EF Education First in London focusing on designing apps for education and at H-umus in Italy (Venice) focusing on developing iPad apps for famous fashion brands. I held iOS courses at Digital Accademia.

I got my Master Degree in Computer Science at the University of Padua (Italy) with full marks (110/110).

Musical Curriculum Vitae

Alert: I quit world of music in 2010 and I'm no more available for live or recording sessions.
I just keep this section and the following links as archive/memories:

Born in 1985 in Pordenone (Italy), Alberto had his first introduction to music at the age of eight with the piano. When he was 14 he started playing bass and guitar with some local rock bands, as well as picking up the double bass. He studied with important teachers like Mauro Zavagno, Roberto Pascucci and Alex Stornello at the Lizard Academy in Florence and Padua. He took part in important clinics with the greatest bass players like Stu Hamm, Billy Sheehan, Alain Caron, and Faso. In 2003 Alberto wrote a book “Il Volo del Calabrone ed altri classici per basso” (The Flight of the bumble-bee and others classical transcription for el. bass). In 2005 Alberto composed a personal demo, “Genre?!? What Genre?,” encompasing different kinds of music. In the same year he met Marco Anzovino, a great Italian song-writer, with whom he started collaborating with. He had a great experience playing in Marco Anzovino‘s second album “Canzoni Ad Occhi Chiusi.” In 2007/’08 he held bass class as teacher at G. Verdi school in Fontanafredda (PN).
