Francesco Sorice
Full-Stack Developer & DevOps Engineer
About
I'm a dedicated Full-Stack Web Developer and DevOps Engineer originally from Italy and now living in Tokyo. My fascination with technology began when I was young, and ever since, I've relished the challenge of turning creative ideas into real-world solutions. Today, I specialize in building efficient, maintainable web architectures—from robust back-end APIs to user-friendly front-end interfaces. Beyond code, I'm deeply interested in personal finance, philosophy, and learning new languages (both programming and spoken). I believe the best software reflects a balance of innovation, clarity, and human-centered design. The quote below by Baruch Spinoza has accompanied me throughout my personal and professional journey. To me, it captures the essence of what a great engineer, scientist, or developer should strive for: a mindset that avoids judgment and emotional bias, and instead seeks to understand complexity with clarity and empathy. Whether I'm debugging a system or navigating a team challenge, I believe true progress starts with understanding.
"Non ridere, non lugere, neque detestari, sed intelligere"
Not to laugh, not to lament, not to detest, but to understand
- Baruch Spinoza
