Bio
Alistair Hillocks
I worked under Luca in his role as scrum team lead benefitting from his excellent technical knowledge and strong leadership. He was able to utilise his coding and architectural expertise while applyin agile methodologies to find development solutions for the business. He led by example, guiding and motivating us to deliver results whilst striving to continuously improve. Luca was a great mentor to me, helping to improve my java skills and demonstrating key leadership qualities which I learnt from in order to take on a scrum team leader role myself. I would recommend Luca for any role requiring a strong technical skillset combined with the responsibility to lead and overcome obstacles.

I worked with Luca at Hargreaves Lansdown where, as my Team Lead and line manager, he went out of his way to aid the growth of my technical and leadership skills for which I’m extremely thankful. Not only is Luca a great leader and professional mentor, he has a superb wealth of both conceptual and hands on technical knowledge. Luca was the key player identifying improvements to our platform from an architectural perspective and successfully initiated the ongoing project of improving the design and architecture to allow developers to write cleaner code and ultimately speed up the development cycle. Luca often stepped in to simplify problems across the teams and his ability to do so is testament to his deep understanding of problem solving and elegant design knowledge. I’d highly recommend Luca if you are looking for somebody to lead a development department to writing a clean, maintainable and ultimately a more enjoyable code base for developers and testers alike.
