I’m Alessio, based in Palermo, and I have been developing software for about seven years. I spent most of that time on the frontend; today I am bringing the same attention to backend development and AI.
I’m Alessio, based in Palermo, and I have been developing software for about seven years. I spent most of that time on the frontend; today I am bringing the same attention to backend development and AI.
Along the way, I am completing my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at the University of Catania. After several years at work, I chose to make room for studying again: using a tool well is rewarding, but understanding what happens beneath the surface interests me even more.
My experience on LinkedInI started with an internship, grew across frontend and full-stack development and, step by step, went on to coordinate people and projects.

Full-time · Catania
I worked across frontend development, mentoring and team coordination on complex, responsive projects.
Full-time · Catania
I worked on complex frontend applications, mainly with React and Angular.
Part-time · Catania
This is where I first started moving into full-stack work, with Angular on the frontend and Laravel on the backend.

This was my first role in frontend development, after a 300-hour Angular course by the Etna HiTech consortium.
In 2026 I decided to pause professional work. I want to complete my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and prepare for a Master’s in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence with the time and attention they deserve.
I did not return to university to add another line to my résumé. I did it to give stronger foundations to the experience I already have and to make my way, steadily, into backend development and AI.
I prefer short, focused sessions. I try to answer without hints and write the code myself. When I get something wrong, that is exactly where I go back: I revisit an idea until I can explain it in my own words and use it without shortcuts.
While preparing for Physics, I realised how much I enjoy going deeper. Remembering a step is not enough: I want to know why it works and which assumptions make it valid.
I take the same approach to software: try things, ask questions, check assumptions and avoid stopping at the first solution that merely seems to work.
My goal is to move confidently across interfaces, server logic, data and AI features. To get there, I am strengthening my backend knowledge and the theoretical foundations of artificial intelligence, always starting from real problems.
AI is also part of how I study: I use it to compare reasoning, ask for feedback and test whether what I think I understand actually holds up.
This is where I started: designing and building web interfaces while looking for the right balance between clarity, reliability and attention to detail.
I enjoy turning a design into an interface that works well on every screen and for as many people as possible.
Over the years, I have also had the chance to work with reactive programming and backend technologies.
This is the area I am exploring most right now, moving between practical projects, conceptual study and plenty of experimentation.
University is only one part of the journey. Over the years, I have chosen focused courses to understand the tools I use more deeply and get closer, one step at a time, to new ones.
