11 years of analysis and coding: from design to implementation

Since 2015 I have worked as a Business Analyst and Python Developer, first with several Italian Odoo partners and today on larger projects: I have handled requirements gathering and functional analysis for over 50 projects, written design specifications and technical documentation, estimated budgets and timelines, completed two full Odoo implementations from deployment to delivery, and built reporting and KPIs with SQL queries. The same work, seen from two sides.

My background →

Business Analysis

  • Requirements gathering and analysis, including complex projects (over 50 handled)
  • Functional and technical analysis, design specifications, documentation
  • Budget estimates and project planning
  • Business Intelligence: SQL queries, KPI definition and implementation
  • Background in management control and audit — rare for someone who also writes code

Odoo development

  • 11 years of experience as a Python developer on Odoo (since 2015), TDD development
  • Custom modules for inventory, accounting, sales, rentals, integrations
  • 2 complete Odoo implementations, from deployment to delivery
  • Community contributor: the Odoo Treasury Forecast app, maintained since 2017
  • Experience with the Italian localisation (invoicing, delivery notes, tax compliance)

Accounting services and training

  • General and analytic accounting, basic entries
  • Bank journal entries and reconciliations
  • Electronic invoicing
  • Tax reports, such as the VAT settlement
  • Ad hoc reporting: due-date schedules, balance sheets and financial reports
  • SDD, bank receipts (RiBa), invoice financing
  • Accounting training and process training

Product Owner services

  • Backlog management and prioritisation
  • Turning business needs into user stories and clear requirements for the development team
  • Product roadmap and release planning
  • Point of contact between stakeholders and developers, the Agile way
  • Checking results against business goals
AI lowers the barrier to writing code, but it doesn't replace the ability to understand a business problem and turn it into a correct technical solution.
