Eight years taking digital products from an idea to a market, from a tournament platform that reached 300,000 users to the digital services of a national federation.
Since 2025, Product Manager at the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation. Before that, eight years in gaming and iGaming, from community to product. On the side, I design and ship paid products by myself.
QLASH's tournament platform, from MVP to a global product with 300,000 users. And TipKlub, from concept to 70,000. The groundwork for the digital products I run at the Federation now.
I oversaw the development of QLASH's own tournament platform and took it from MVP to a global product across mobile, PC and console titles, defining the requirements for every game integration and how the platform connects to the publishers' systems.
A sports prediction app built with some of Italy's best known tipsters. I ran it from concept to launch and through the roadmap that followed, coordinating an external tech agency with in-house design and marketing, and reading activation and retention to decide what came next.
Three products I run from the product side: I set the requirements and priorities, coordinate the vendors who build them, decide what ships, and follow whether people actually use it.
The Federation's streaming service: tennis and padel live and on demand, on phone, tablet, web and TV, with a freemium model.
The tournament's official app: schedule, live scores and match statistics, players, and the map of the Foro Italico.
The app every FITP member uses for their digital card, their profile and their rankings. The eSports circuit runs inside it.
Releasing is only the start. The rest is the work that decides whether anyone ends up using it.
A membership to sell, an app to onboard into, a reason to come back every week. I run it end to end, acquisition and retention included.
The Federation's official eSports circuit, played on Tennis Clash and co-organised with its developer WildLife Studios, with BMW as main sponsor. FITP is the first Italian sports federation to create a dedicated eSports membership.
Since 2026 the whole circuit runs inside the Federation's own app, through an integration with the game developer's systems.
The circuit and its two international events
Weekly tournaments and monthly masters on two levels, feeding the federal ranking.
2026 season · entry through the federal eSports membership
Open international qualification, live final at the Foro Italico.
2026: 491,000 participants, from 100+ countries
Its own qualification run, live final in the tournament fan village, Turin.
2025: 517,000 unique players in the qualification runWhere I test how I work. I take an idea, decide the business model, build it to an MVP with AI-assisted development and put it online to see whether it holds. Two are live, one with paying subscribers.
Built around the work that comes back every week and takes the most time: preparing briefs, reading long documents and pulling out what matters, turning meeting notes into decisions.
Grounded only in a knowledge base I curate, always sourced, and what comes out is a draft a person reviews before it is used.
A paid web app that helps a fantasy football league agree on the date of its auction. I chose the business model myself: you pay on the number of candidate time slots, not on participants. Live with a subscription tier.
A calculator that turns an Italian gross salary into what you actually take home. Every figure comes from the official tax registers, down to municipal rates, each one carrying its source.
I trained as an engineer and I like getting my hands dirty on the product: writing the requirements, agreeing priorities with the technology partners who build it, going through what comes back, and deciding what ships and what waits.
I have never sat in one box: football clubs, global publishers, sponsors from well outside gaming, legal offices. At QLASH that meant building the commercial side with C-level stakeholders and structuring the deals, up to a 50,000 euro partnership; at the Federation it means turning four external vendors and four internal functions into one delivery. It is what lets me talk to the people who build, the people who sell and the people who decide.
