01 About me

I'm Federico. I build both sides.

A 22-year-old cloud & AI engineer based in Barcelona — half British, half Italian, and happiest somewhere new.

I started in IT helpdesk and systems administration, then moved into cloud infrastructure, security, automation and AI. Over more than four years I've worked with Azure, AWS, infrastructure as code, identity & access and AI applications.

I care just as much about how a product looks and feels — that's why I founded Mencuccini Studio, to build websites, apps and automations that are memorable and technically solid.
