Hi, I'm
Eric Camellini
Independent software engineer, facilitator, coach, and trainer
For more than ten years I've been part of software teams: designing and building products, leading them as tech lead, and helping them collaborate better. Right now I'm building public digital infrastructure with Buildo and PagoPA.
I also work as a facilitator, coach, and trainer. I care about public-interest tech.
What I'm doing now
Software engineer and tech lead. I work with Buildo and PagoPA on PDND (open source), the platform Italian public administrations use to exchange data, and Knodia (open source), a proposal to extend that model to Europe. I also work on defining and improving the team's AI-based software delivery process.
Facilitator and coach on team collaboration and organizational development. I've worked for organizations like Leva and UniCT, and with partners like Skill Factor and Cocoon Pro. I also coach individuals, and I'm a LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® certified facilitator.
Actor and theatre trainer. That side of my work lives on act.ecamel.me.
What I've done
Products across industries. Since 2017, mostly with Buildo, I've worked as engineer and tech lead on B2B products used in hospitals, banks, and car rental agencies worldwide, including an operational dashboard for hospital labs; a platform to manage hiring campaigns; chatbot configuration platforms; tools to manage security vulnerabilities; and LexDo.it, for handling a company's legal paperwork online.
At Buildo I also designed and taught a hands-on TypeScript and React course and helped shape how the company organizes itself, focusing on facilitation, collaboration, and Kanban. With a few colleagues I started and organized Milano TS, a TypeScript meetup in Milan.
Courses and bootcamps. I taught programming basics, web development, and Python in professional training programs with Strive School, Epicode, Siam1838, and Ifoa. One example is my Python course.
An R&D team from scratch. At BV Tech I led Aurora Labs early on, hiring its first members and running the design phase of its first project, a cyber range for security training.
Background
I received my master's degree cum laude in Computer Science and Engineering from Politecnico di Milano in 2017, with an Erasmus semester at TU Delft. As a research intern at the SecLab at UC Santa Barbara in 2016, I developed my thesis project, later published at the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy 2020. I also played security CTFs, first with Tower of Hanoi, then with Shellphish, up to the DEF CON 24 CTF finals in Las Vegas. There is a dedicated page with more detail on my education and university projects.
I trained as a facilitator with Cocoon Pro's Facilitation Primer and LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® certification, and as a coach with the ARIADNE Core Coaching Program.
