ABOUT ME

Alessandro Macrì
▶ PLAYER INFO

Senior Software Engineer with experience as Solution Architect and Team Leader. I thrive on turning complex challenges into elegant, scalable systems — designing cloud-native architectures, leading engineering teams, and obsessing over clean, event-driven solutions. Endlessly curious — whether it's a new framework, a distributed systems pattern, or perfecting a high-hydration pizza dough, I dive deep. When I'm not shipping microservices, you'll find me distilling small-batch gin with locally foraged botanicals or experimenting with crispy, slow-fermented pizza recipes. The best ideas — in code and in the kitchen — come from bold experimentation and restless creativity.

🎮 SIDE QUESTS

When the compiler rests, the real experiments begin.

🍕

Pizza Artisan

I treat dough like code — every variable matters. From Neapolitan pillowy softness to Roman-style crunch, I experiment with high-hydration sourdough, long cold fermentations, ancient flour blends, and that elusive leopard-spotted char. Every pizza is a prototype, every bake is an iteration.

🍸

Gin Distiller

I craft small-batch gin from scratch, designing recipes that celebrate local terroir. Wild juniper, hand-picked citrus, foraged herbs from the surrounding hills — each botanical is carefully selected and balanced. Every batch is an experiment in flavor architecture, blending tradition with bold new combinations.
