About me

avatar

My name is Federico Zappone aka ZappaBoy. I‘m a software engineer and the co-founder of two companies: Just Another S.R.L. and BB-SMILE S.R.L.

I achieved a Master‘s Degree in Software Systems Security with the highest valuation of 110/110 cum laude with distinction in 2022.

However, my programming journey began during my studies in 2019 with a university project in collaboration with a Public Administration entity. This was a great experience thanks to my teammates and here I started my first Machine Learning algorithm.

So, I seriously started working for a small company as a freelancer. I was responsible for the entire IT infrastructure and development of web applications and blockchains which is the main core of the projects.

In 2020, I won a research grant at the University of Molise for the design and development of a blockchain for the Nova Tellus project.

After graduation In the middle of 2022, I decided to start my own companies, firstly with BB-SMILE S.R.L. a spinoff from both Sapienza and Molise Universities.

But the greatest satisfaction was the creation of Just Another S.R.L. with my friend Luca Fulgenzi. Having acquired expertise over the years, I therefore decided to start a company that creates elegant software with very high-quality standards using software solutions for innovation (AI, Blockchain, etc.).
