Marco Buschini

Software Developer and Engineer

Curriculum Vitae

I want to develop software tools that work for the people using them. I want to work in a cohesive team. I want to acquire new skills, and I am at my best when I help the team I belong to grow, solving both technical, and human problems.

Work Experience

Technology Expert at Seidor for Joint Research Center

04/2022 – current

I work at migrating an old application written with a Wiki to a more contemporary API backend (with an Angular frontend) aplication.

Full Stack developer at AlfaDocs GMBH

05/2021 – 07/2021

I help developing a full stack web application to manage appointments and billing for dental and medical offices. I help solving issues nobody else could solve in a spaghetti-code infrastructure (REACT and Symfony). After solving a long standing issue that could make the company a market leader in invoicing (adding VAT to the rows of a bill so that every row can have its own VAT) I am dismissed as “very diligent but not a good fit for the company”.

Software developer at Mitrol s.r.l.

04/2015 – 04/2021

I develop software for the web, MySQL, and .net on Linux, and Windows platforms. In particular:

I spent most of the time waiting for orders, as I am way faster at developing software then they are at providing me software to develop, till the first web application in list.

Workers Coordinator at Prima-Vera s.p.a. for Ospedale di Saronno

08/2014 – 02/2015

I enter the company after a previous coordinator has severely undermined relations with the workers. In seven months I am able to recover the relations with them by managing both bureaucracy, and the human side of hospital maintenance. Under my coordination, the workers reduced the number of maintenance requests to less than 5 per day.

After I fixed all those issues the company decided I was no longer needed.

Blogger for Engeene (Engeene)

10/2013 – 06/2014

I cooperate as a technical writer for Engeene. The cooperation is unpaid but satisfying. Articles are assigned by the editor in chief, but autonomous submissions are encouraged. The blog halts publication due to higher priority projects.

E-commerce

04/2011 – 07/2012

During unemployment, I design and develop an online shop. I use modern, and flexible technologies to ease development, and maintenance. I also provide draft business intelligence tools, and payment modes adaptable to any bank via a configuration file, including safe storage of customer’s credit card data. I abandon the project due to lack of funding.

Consultant at Bludev s.r.l.

05/2008 – 11/2010

I develop software for the web, PocketPC, and business intelligence. Not only building reports, but also understanding customer expectations, and data. I solve problems caused by sabotages from previous developers for Bennet (header of shipping documents that sometimes are not inserted in the database when the details are) and Coop Centro Italia (configuration files that are deleted on varying days of the month). The company closes at the end of 2010).

Lead developer at 4ur s.r.l.

12/2005 – 03/2008

I design and develop web applications to provide services to customers of the company. My role as a project leader allows me to manage, and anticipate expectations. The main application is a photo gallery to cooperatively select product photos for catalogs and brochures. The company declared to have ceased activity in 2008 but has found trying and selling my software some years later.

Analyst Consultant at Cap Gemini s.p.a.

10/2004 – 11/2005

My team and I develop a financial data warehouse with data coming from different sources, in different formats, and with varying conventions. My skills grant me a position close to team leading, and allow me to find, and fix bugs introduced by the former project manager.

Civil Service at Volontari del Garda

1999

I learn to manage, organize, schedule, and perform transfers of patients between the hospitals of the Brescia province granting the association an increase in income.

Education

Bottega Finzioni

Creative writing school in Bologna founded by Italian crime author Carlo Lucarelli. The course was divided in four topics:

Politecnico di Milano

2004 Master’s Degree in Computer Engineering with a score of 90/100

Personal Skills

Mother Tongue: Italian

Other Languages: English

UNDERSTANDING SPEAKING WRITING
Listening Reading Spoken interaction Spoken production
B2 C1 B2 B2 C1

Scored 263/300 in TOEFL in 2003.

Communication Skills

Interacting with teachers at the Politecnico di Milano university, especially during project presentations, I learned to plan my speech in advance, to properly breathe during presentations, and to give the right weight to vowel, and consonants. This skill is not good as it was, due to lack of practice.

Organisational / managerial skills

The work done for Cap Gemini, 4ur, and Prima Vera put me in a leadership position in small groups of varying sizes (2, 1, and 6 respectively) granting me respect even from people that was not respected by the previous coordinators.

In most of the jobs I had to think out of the box, mostly because of omissions, or errors in documentation provided by team leaders, or software providers, but also (in two cases) because of sabotage.
