Hi, I'm Andrea Bergia. I am an Italian software engineer with experience since 2009, and I have been working at Staff / Principal-level since 2018. I loved computers since I can remember, and I have started programming when I was a kid in Basic. Since then, life has been a continuous process of learning technologies and programming languages.
I have written production code in Rust, Kotlin, Java, C++, TypeScript, Python, C#, and quite a few other languages. I have used lots of different frameworks and technologies, and I am always on the lookout for new ones to try. I have been blogging since 2014, and some of my blog posts have made it to the frontpage of Hacker News. In 2025 I have given my first talk at a conference.
I am currently employed by ServiceNow as a Sr Staff Software Engineer, working as a compiler engineer on the JavaScript engine and its integration with the rest of the platform. I have contributed to various open source projects over the decades; in particular, lately I have contributed a lot to Rhino as part of my job.
I am married, and we have a wonderful daughter. We also own two gorgeous cats, Johnny and Leaf, who are the origin of lots of fun, laughter, cuddling, and hair. So much hair.
Like most Italians, I love a good cup of espresso, but not the watery thing that foreigners call "coffee". This is one instance where I believe that 98% of humanity is wrong! 🙂 I also love tea and herbal infusions, and I drink quite a few cups daily. I can't code without some warm water, basically.
I live in north-western Italy, near the gorgeous Torino. I enjoy cooking, reading, music, photography, and video games.
