Ciao. My name is

Andrea Lisi.

Frontend platform and governance.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with over 18 years of experience. Today I work on the frontend platform behind Tosca Cloud, a monorepo containing 16 projects and shared by more than 12 teams. My focus is architecture, dependencies, builds and shared standards.

01.How I work

Art_School

From design to frontend engineering

I started in design, but my career is in frontend engineering. Over time I have also worked on backend systems and infrastructure. That experience helps me see what changes elsewhere in the system when I work on the frontend.

The_Boundaries

Rules and automated checks

I often work on problems that affect several teams: module boundaries, dependencies, builds and CI. When a rule matters, I document the reason and add an automated check where I can. That lets the check do the reminding, so I do not have to repeat the same thing to dozens of people one at a time.

Hands_On

I work on the code and alongside the teams

I continue to implement, debug and work on shared engineering tools. Every day I work with developers across the teams, from junior to senior, and I regularly speak with their managers. When a decision affects several products, I also work with design, security and sales to understand what is needed and apply it consistently.

02.What I work on

Architecture & platform

  • Monorepo architecture
  • Micro-frontends
  • Module boundaries
  • Dependency governance
  • Technical RFCs

Frontend & integrations

  • React
  • TypeScript
  • Vue
  • GraphQL
  • Node.js
  • Frontend Okta integration
  • JWT handling
  • OpenTelemetry

Build & delivery

  • CI architecture
  • Pipeline automation
  • Build caching & performance
  • Quality gates
  • Automated testing

Developer experience

  • Shared tooling
  • Engineering standards
  • Documentation
  • AI tooling evaluation

03.How I use AI in development

USE, REVIEW AND TESTING

I use AI assistants and agents to analyse a project’s code, prepare changes and reduce repetitive work. I use them only when I can understand what they did and check that it works.

I test them on real work to see where they lose context in the codebase. I use that to update the repository’s documentation, rules and tooling.

In practice:

  1. First I check whether the change is needed. An agent can suggest rebuilding something that already exists in the project.
  2. I review the result like any other contribution. I read the diff, run the tests and check that it respects the project’s boundaries.
  3. I need to be able to explain and maintain every change. If I cannot, I do not use it.

CURRENT 2023 · NOW

Tosca Cloud · VIENNA, AT

I work on the frontend platform behind Tosca Cloud, a micro-frontend monorepo containing 16 projects and shared by more than 12 teams.

I work on the monorepo’s architecture and governance, particularly module boundaries, dependency rules and shared frontend standards. I also review RFCs that affect the shared frontend.

I administer the Tosca Cloud repository on GitHub and automate its pipelines, including on Azure. With the platform architect, I work on build caching and performance, CI structure and quality gates.

I implement and maintain integrations shared across multiple frontend applications. These include observability with OpenTelemetry and the application-side authentication flow after the Okta login, including JWT handling and HTTP interceptors. When an issue appears across several projects, I debug it at platform level.

I regularly evaluate AI tools, including Claude and Cursor, on real repository work. If they keep stumbling over the same parts of the codebase, I improve its documentation, rules or shared tooling.

E-commerce platform for tree planting · FLORENCE, IT

As part of the frontend team, I worked on moving the storefront out of the monolith using React, Vue and GraphQL.

I helped rebuild the storefront as the company grew from around 20 to more than 150 people.

I built interfaces for high-traffic campaigns. I worked regularly with the design and design system teams to integrate requests, match the mockups and follow the shared standards.

For my final two years, I built the frontend for the internal back-office tools from scratch. I was the project’s only frontend developer and worked alongside the backend team and the people who used those tools for forestry operations.

Modernized a luxury e-commerce platform while it was in production. Gradually replaced ASP and jQuery with React and a new Webpack setup.

Continued to build new features during the migration without taking the shop offline.

Worked on both the storefront and the internal CMS used for orders and day-to-day shop operations.

Hey! If you want to talk about frontend platforms, developer experience or simply compare notes, send me a message.

It doesn’t need to be formal. A quick message is fine too.
