I’m Sam, a Software Engineering Master’s student at the Free University of Bolzano. I work on backend and distributed systems: durable execution, resilience, and the unglamorous machinery that keeps software running when conditions get hostile.

Right now I’m interning at Fruit-Service, building a production data pipeline, and spending my own time on CONDUCTOR, a distributed workflow orchestration engine I’m writing from scratch to really understand how durable execution works. Before this, I worked on the Open Data Hub platform at NOI Techpark.

I started in systems programming. C++ is where I learned to care about the details, and I’ve never really left. I like reliability, writing things down, and building ambitious infrastructure that I have no business building yet.

Outside the terminal, I’m learning German toward B1 and planning a move to Arcadia Planitia, Mars in the near future.
