I’m a passionate and experienced software engineer from Milan, Italy. I’ve been working as a software engineer for ~10 years in both product and consultancy companies, taking the best from both worlds.

During the last years, I have contributed to many open source projects from companies and foundations such as Facebook, Uber, Maserati,Apache Foundation, Linux Foundation, etc. I’ve also written dozens of public domain articles about computer science, performance enhancements, scalability, clean code, and many other topics. You can find them here: https://micheleriva.medium.com. I’m a fast learner. I love to learn new programming languages and paradigms to build high-quality software with them.

I’m currently coding in Node.js, TypeScript, Go, and Elixir, but I’d love to learn other programming languages to write programs in. In the past years, I’ve also had the opportunity to code in PHP, Ruby, Python, and other languages. I also like to write frontend applications using React, Vue, Svelte, or just vanilla JS and CSS.

I’m currently working as a Senior Software Engineer at ViacomCBS, where I’m building a multi-tenant Node.js SSR/React application at the heart of our streaming websites and networks. I'm also writing a book for Packt about advanced and real-world Next.js, published in late 2021.
