about me

Nice to meet you, I'm Tommaso.

Florentine, born in '95. I started by taking websites apart to see how they worked, and I haven't stopped building them since.

in short

I like being where things fit together. My style is to think in modules and give design the time it needs, so every product stays free to evolve. I'm a perfectionist, but I know when it's time to ship. I do well on my own, and even better as part of a team.

path

Along the way.

Read my CV

  1. 2014

    University first

    After high school I enrol at university. I like understanding how things work, but I also want to build them.

  2. 2016

    Programming technician

    During my studies I choose to put theory into practice, with the programming technician course at IDI Informatica in Florence. The course leads to an interview, and the interview to my first job. I leave my academic studies to work full time straight away.

  3. 2018

    I join dotFlorence

    Florentine web agency, the same one I still work with today. I start with websites, then come e-commerce and custom applications.

    A step up

    Among many smaller jobs, which I love and which help me grow, come the ones that leave a mark. Bigger projects, where every choice matters and every detail shows.

    Behind the scenes

    In a web agency, full stack developers soon end up looking after the servers too. I learn the sysadmin trade on the job and build, one problem at a time, my know-how on running infrastructure for small organisations.

  6. 2020

    Pandemic

    The world stops. I use that surreal time to reset, build myself a method and design.

  7. 2023

    Everything changes

    Artificial intelligence arrives, the perfect push at the perfect moment, and changes the outlook completely. I study it, bring it into projects and rethink the way I build.

  8. 2025

    Co-founder and CTO of ohmyroom

    A hospitality suite with a digital space for guests, an AI concierge, local experiences and native apps. I’ve built it from the first line.

    Meanwhile

    today

    I meet people, grow my network and keep designing. Every encounter brings a conversation, an idea or a new project to grow together.

method

How I work

Listening

I start from the people who will use the project. Goals, habits and constraints come before any technical choice.

Design

I sketch the structure, pick the tools and we set the priorities together. Where I can’t go alone I bring in the professionals I work with, UI/UX designers, social media managers and copywriters, so the project is complete from the start.

Development

I work in short steps, with versions to try early. Fixes come when they still cost little.

In production

Tests, checks and a plan for the unexpected, then the release. From there we watch how people use the product and decide the next steps together.
