Software Engineer / Ex Perito Meccanico

Filippo De Luca

I build backend systems the way I was taught to build engines first: understand every tolerance before you trust the assembly. These days that means Scala, Cats Effect and event-driven architectures — not pistons — but the discipline carried over.

Senior Software Engineer, SiriusXM — User Services / Device team
Stack
Scala, Cats Effect, AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, Kinesis, CDK)
Prior work
Kaluza / OVO Energy — designed a GraphQL-over-Kafka API architecture
