About

Matteo Baccan - Senior Software Architect

My name is Matteo Baccan and I'm a software professional with a passion for technology that started in the '80s when I began programming. Over these decades I've learned that success is not only about writing working code but solving real problems while ensuring product stability and coherence.

As a Senior Software Architect I oversee the full lifecycle of software projects, from architecture analysis to frontend, backend and app development. My main skills are based on Java Enterprise Edition and PHP, but my curiosity constantly drives me towards innovation.

I also work on IoT solutions using Arduino boards. For years I've been a lecturer and technical speaker at major Italian conferences because I believe sharing knowledge is essential.
