About me
Financial trading and technology: the path I build and live each day is at the intersection of my passions.
I am Software Analyst in financial trading for an Italian software house.
Previously I have been Functional Analyst in financial trading for a top tier Italian online bank: 20 markets, thousands of financial instruments, daily average of 35000 orders, excellent performances measured in milliseconds on cash and derivatives, 35000+ private traders, also on margin trading.
Why? Always engaged in financial markets: high school Diploma as Accountant, Business consultant and Programmer [94/100], then I broadened my knowledge studying for Undergraduate Degree in Business Economics [3y, 107/110] and Master Degree in Economics and Finance [2y, 107/110], where quantitative finance led me to publish both thesis about machine learning and automated strategies applied to financial trading.
I keep on learning! I attend many advanced courses related to financial trading and held by brokers, banks and senior professionals. 2013: FXCM Italy (July 10th), FXCM Big Conference in Milan with top traders and analysts (October 11th). 2014: “TOLexpo2014” in Borsa Italiana (Milan Stock Exchange). 2015: conference held at UniCredit Towers in Milan, about technical analysis, macroeconomics and certificates; “Trading School – Forex & CFD” held at ActiveTrades in Milan (May 29th and June 05th). 2017: “Solide Basi per un lungo e solitario viaggio” – Milan (January 28th and 29th), Swissquote Trading Tour with Marco Ciucci – Milan (November 10th). 2018: Swissquote Trading Tour with Marco Ciucci – Bologna (May 11th).
Not only finance and IT. In the meantime I do not stop putting efforts as Teacher, helping people to be successful in their formation, both for private lessons and courses, where I am able to join the dots, developing my career and improving my skills by teaching mainly economics, finance and IT. Previously I collaborated with associations “Symphonya.net”, “Associazione PMR446 Italia” where I also took part in charity events, and with the editorial staff of a local newspaper “il Paese Macherio”, helping especially with social media and photography.
I am strongly enthusiast about digital photography: 1000+ followers on my portfolio at alwipa.com, my personal website.
Currently based in Milan where I moved for current job, I travelled to many worldwide countries and I would love keep travelling in my life, discovering cities abroad, enjoying different cultures and even relocate where financial trading would lead me.
