About Me

Luca Marrocco

I'm a dynamic and innovative technical leader with over 20+ years of expertise spanning software engineering, team mentorship, and project management. Based in Lugano, Switzerland, I specialize in developing innovative applications and software solutions that deliver exceptional value while exceeding requirements and expectations.

My approach combines superb analytical skills with the ability to solve challenging problems using both industry-standard and cutting-edge technologies. I excel at building, training, and directing top-performing technical teams from the ground up, fostering collaborative work environments conducive to on-time project delivery. I guide full project lifecycles from requirements gathering and interpretation to ongoing status reporting with key stakeholders.

I have a proven track record in blockchain technology, distributed systems, and clean architecture. My expertise includes architecting Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) patterns, integrating with EVM chains and blockchain networks, and delivering high-performance indexing solutions. I'm passionate about delivering seamless user experiences, leveraging feedback to drive continuous product improvement, and writing clean, well-structured code that stands the test of time.

When I'm not architecting solutions or mentoring teams, you'll find me exploring cooking and architecture, or diving deep into emerging technologies to stay at the forefront of innovation.
