About

Hi, I’m Riccardo — a software engineer, conference speaker, and university lecturer based in Italy.

I work on JVM-based systems in the financial domain and lecture on Software Engineering at the University of Padova.

I write about Scala, Kotlin, and Java — with a focus on functional programming, effect systems, design patterns, and concurrency. You’ll find deep dives on topics like ZIO, Akka, Kotlin Coroutines, Arrow, virtual threads, and more.

I also contribute articles to Rock the JVM and Baeldung, and speak at conferences like Scala Days and Scalar.

Feel free to connect with me on any of the social links below.
