Hello! My name is Alessandro Morio and I started programming when I was 16 years old. Writing and maintaining clean code fascinates me. I am interested in software architecture. I like to understand and design an entire system/game. Which, sometimes, leads to the topic performance. That is also one of my favourite domains. First of all to determine whether an optimization is necessary or not. Optimizing code that is rarely used can even backfire. However, applying Data-Oriented Design or the correct multithreading strategy can improve performance and design a lot.

During my career I gained a lot of experience in fullstack development. I designed and implemented various REST interfaces and have experience in processing heavy data-loads in micro-service architectures. I was one of the lead engineers for the web visualization of the zenon software platform at Copa-Data.
