About me
Who I am, my journey, skills, and creative vision
Andrea Losavio
Senior Software Engineer & FDE (Freelance)
I am a Computer Engineer who graduated from Politecnico di Milano in 2019, registered with the professional board under number 34249, section B. I have been passionate about programming since 2009, fascinated from an early age by the logic and structure behind software — exploring the fundamentals of programming, computer architecture, and algorithms.
I began my career in IT consulting in 2018 and have been working as a freelancer since 2023. Today, I collaborate with companies and startups as a Senior Software Engineer & FDE (Forward Deployed Engineer), embedding into their contexts to translate business requirements into tech & AI solutions and scalable, high-performance software architectures.
I've also built personal products: Fast Memo (2023, app and website for Android and iOS) and Coolify Manager (2026, Chrome extension and Android app for self-hosted Coolify servers).
