# Davide Conti

College friend and fellow software engineer, currently working as a senior backend developer at a growing Milan-based startup in the logistics space. Luca and Davide studied computer science together at Politecnico di Milano and have stayed close ever since. They grab dinner regularly, usually somewhere in Navigli or Isola, and the conversation inevitably drifts to tech, career moves, and the Italian startup ecosystem. Davide is one of the few people Luca can talk to about both deep technical problems and the personal side of running an indie business.

## Notes

- Rock-solid engineer with a preference for Go and PostgreSQL; skeptical of hype cycles but open to being convinced
- Gave Luca valuable early feedback on the podcast concept before it launched
- Quietly ambitious; has been thinking about going indie himself but values the stability of a salary for now
- Shared taste in music and restaurants; they have a running list of places to try in Milan
- Reliable sounding board for technical architecture decisions

## Collaborations

- [[event-dinner-family]] — regular dinner companion, sometimes joins group gatherings
- [[topic-italian-startups]] — frequent discussions about the Milan startup scene
