I am a frontend developer with 4 years of experience in EdTech. I have been working at Duolingo since early 2022, where I focus on accessibility features. Before that, I worked at a small startup called LinguaLab for two years. During that time, I learned to use React and TypeScript in production environments. I studied computer science at the University of Milan and graduated in 2018. I am especially excited about this role because it would allow me to contribute to a product with global impact.
