Before software there was judo, and before that a school computer lab. I studied Information Technology in Shkodër, taught IT to high-school students, and learned that explaining a system clearly is half of building it. Off the mat I also served as a judo official and ran tournament scoring with the Judo Shiai system.
About
From classroom to backend systems
I have built backend software for more than six years. I care about clear contracts, honest data and systems that stay maintainable.
My story
From 2014 to 2019 I ran the daily operations and finances of a busy retail business, while completing a Master of Science in Business Informatics. It taught me how businesses really work: systems must be understandable, data must be accurate, and a small process failure affects customers, stock and cash flow.
Since December 2019 I have worked as a software engineer in Italy. Employers and the work itself are confidential.
Alongside employment I build independent products and web systems. Malesoret, which I co-founded with Emiljano Deda, and its product Ssignal are where engineering meets ownership: product decisions, privacy and trust, and long-term maintenance.
Good software is clear about what it does, honest when it fails and easy to change.
Values
My engineering approach
Clarity before complexity
Clear responsibilities, explicit contracts and the smallest architecture that supports the real need.
Behaviour made explicit
Explicit validation, consistent API responses, clear permissions and testable business rules reduce surprises.
Safe change
Useful tests, static analysis and review practices make changes safer, including in legacy systems.
Understand the workflow first
Who uses the system, what moves through it, where decisions are made and what can fail.

A note on confidentiality
My employers and the work I did for them are confidential. This portfolio shows only my title and period as a software engineer, and a general list of the stack I know. That list is not tied to any employer, system or task. Independently owned products are described in full.
Independent products
