Software Engineer · Sheffield, UK

Mobile Focus. Full-stack Foundation.

Ciao! I’m Alberto, I’m passionate about building iOS and Android apps that ship to real users, and work within complex systems. I’m currently the sole mobile developer at Fathom3, where I own both platforms end to end. I aim to make apps that look polished, feel intuitive, and provide practical solutions to relatable inconveniences.

Sole iOS & Android Developer · Fathom3 / ASafe

RackEye

Warehouse racking can collapse without warning, and the traditional way of catching it (paper-based safety inspections done quarterly) is slow and inconsistent. RackEye tackles both problems. IoT sensors clip magnetically onto racking legs across a site and detect impacts the moment they happen. The mobile apps, which I own end to end on iOS and Android, give warehouse teams a live view of every building, zone, and device, and walk inspectors through structured assessments right there on the warehouse floor. It's live on the App Store and Google Play, deployed in commercial warehouses, with several major versions shipped.

Solo Project · Bryant Research

News Scraping & Classification Pipeline

Bryant Research needed to gather and process news at scale, tens of thousands of articles from sources that weren't designed to be scraped. I built an end-to-end pipeline that handled the whole thing: collecting articles from paywalled and restricted sources, stripping out ads and navigation to leave just the text, and feeding the clean corpus into a classifier that sorted 50,000+ articles by topic and type. The actual engineering challenge was reliability and precision at scale, getting clean, usable text out of consistently messy real-world web pages.

Personal Project · iOS App

Logbook

As a life long aviation enthusiast, I've always looked for a good looking app to log my flights, but there's never been an app that did everything I needed it to. So I built Logbook, a personal project that allows for the kind of granular flight logging I want to do, whilst still looking aesthetically beautiful. It is aimed at people who can't help snapping a picture of a plane every time they see one, or carefully track every flight taken, or spend hours behind a home flight simulator setup.

Featured Project

Logbook. A flight logger for amateur aviators of all types.

As a long time aviation enthusiast, I've always looked for a good looking app to log my flights, but nothing out there really hit the mark. So I built Logbook, a personal project that scratches the itch for the kind of flight logging I want to do. It is aimed at people who can't help snapping a picture of a plane every time they see one, or carefully track every flight taken, or spend hours behind a home flight simulator setup.

Every flight gets its own detail page. Based on the information logged, various cards are shown on each page. The most notable are the timezones traversed card, which highlights all the timezones crossed on a route, and the aircraft blueprint, which generates a custom SVG of the plane based on its type. There's also a route visualiser for the more technical simmers that draws the route taken using the ground navs logged (subject to availability from OpenAirports).

The main list renders every entry as a boarding pass, and the globe view draws all your flights as arcs across a map or a globe, whichever you prefer.

This project was built using SwiftUI with MapKit and SwiftData. No UIKit, no third-party UI libraries have been used.

About

I take the long way round. On purpose.

I'm a software engineer based in Sheffield with a decade of coding experience in various capacities, and a specialism in mobile development and IoT. Right now I'm the sole developer of iOS and Android apps at Fathom3, where I own both platforms end to end, from architecture decisions to App Store releases. The same engineering standards have followed me into data pipelines, full-stack web products, and ML-adjacent work, which means I'm comfortable anywhere in the stack. I come back to mobile because that's where I do my most impactful work.

Growing up in three countries (born in Italy, raised in Qatar, now a British citizen) has done more for my engineering than any framework has. I adapt fast, communicate well across teams, and I've never found a codebase I couldn't get comfortable in.

Beyond Code

My many passions.

♪

Music

Music is my expressive outlet. I’ve been playing piano since I was seven. I achieved a Grade 8 Distinction, have two released albums with a band, and I have a habit of playing piano in train stations.

Photography

I love travelling and often find myself taking pictures of the architecture and landscapes along the way. You can explore a small sample of my best snaps on Flickr.

Aviation

Countless hours spent behind a flight simulator, I have always been passionate for anything that flies and I love spending my time learning about aviation and exploring the skies on my computer.

Piano, in the wild ♪
