I am always interested in learning more and I'm not afraid to fail because I know that failure gives you experience and even if it makes you feel uncomfortable, it's part of growing. I basically try again and again until I reach some conclusions. When asked why I do so my answer is always the same: “because this is learning.”
As a critical thinker I challenge myself to solve complex problems often times creatively thinking about unorthodox approaches. To improvise, even. There are situations when the problem I am facing has more possible solutions, my ability as a problem–solver allows me to assess those solutions and select the one that will work the best.
I look at software developing in the same way I looked at my job in the hospitality industry: the team wins or the team loses, there are no such things as MVPs. Empathy and compassion, leading and following, sharing and supporting are all tools I have in my belt that make me a solid team player.
Communication is a two-way road. To listen gives me unfair advantage compared to those who only talk. I get to learn things, expand my horizons, and broaden my worldview. When I get to speak, I do so with clarity, conviction and confidence because once I understand something I am capable of explaining complex ideas with simple words.
Mistakes will happen, one can either embrace or deny them, for me I see them as an opportunity to learn and not repeat them again.
Leadership for me means to engage in honest, open communication that will build meaningful connections with those around me. In my career, when I got to lead I've always encouraged and invested in both the personal and professional growth of my team members as well as my peers. To be seen as a good leader I consistently strive to show up as the best version of myself. I truly beleive that a pat on the shoulder - at the right time - is more valuable that anything else.
Ciao, I am Fabio,View my Resume
ex entrepreneur in the hospitality industry that followed his dreams and moved from Italy to the Silicon Valley to proudly become a Software Engineer.
As an immigrant, I have a determination to succeed, the ability to adapt, and a willingness to try new things.
I am fluent in Javascript, HTML, CSS, and React.js. Even though I prefer frontend development I am comfortable in working across the full stack due to my experience/exposure to Ruby on Rails, Node.js, MongoDB and PostgreSQL for server side operations.
The experience acquired working in the hospitality industry for over ten years gives me a unique dedication for understanding the user experience. I have learned how to build products and experiences that fit a specified audience within a select environment. This ability has helped me find success as an owner of a bartending school that outsources its graduates for private parties and events throughout Italy.
I am a gifted communicator due to my experience as an entrepreneur and team leader. I place importance on communicating openly and clearly within a team to deliver on time-sensitive tasks. When I opened my business, I learned how to keep an open dialogue with my colleagues to avoid ambiguity in each person's responsibilities and expectations. Along with communicating openly, I also learned how to communicate effectively. I learned this from my experience teaching and training new employees and bartenders. Teaching people to learn a new skill gave me the ability to explain complex ideas using simple language. As a software engineer, I use an effective and open line of communication to ensure that I uphold the duties and expectations of the role I fulfill.
I hope that my unique background will add a fresh perspective for tackling engineering problems, enhance the diversity within the tech community, and be why your work culture thrives.
