I build software with care and method, one step at a time

I'm Lorenzo, a junior developer in training at ITS Academy Apulia Digital Maker. I build real projects and take them all the way to release: two Android apps in Flutter and a website are already live.

I work across frontend, Java backend and hardware: I like understanding how a project works end to end.

About

From working with people to building software

I come from customer-facing jobs and a long-standing passion for hardware: today I bring both into my path as a developer.

At ITS Academy I study Java and Spring, OOP, SQL and NoSQL databases, Git and cloud architectures. Front-of-house and front-office work taught me to handle pressure, communicate clearly and work as a team.

I bring both into my projects: tidy code and attention to the people who will use it.

My Tracking App

My first published app: an Android app built with Flutter to track daily habits and consumption, with statistics, goals and data stored on the phone, in English and Italian.

  • Android widgets

  • Statistics and goals

    History by day, week and month, unlockable badges and a reduction plan for each product.

  • CSV backup

    Export and import data as CSV: it always stays under the user’s control.

  • Data on the phone

    No account and no server: all data stays on the device.

  • Symptom diary

    Ten seconds a day, with common medicines, sleep and time spent outdoors.
