Urpi’s journey in tech started in his childhood, fueled by a fascination with computers, beginning with the C64/C128. His professional path has been equally impressive, with a career that began in software development in 2000 and transitioned to software architecture in 2007.

Reflecting on his initial time at DSharp, Urpi describes his experience as “Nice, very nice,” appreciating the team’s strong drive, exploratory spirit, and unique sense of humor.
Urpi’s addition to the DSharp team signifies an exciting new chapter. His extensive expertise and dynamic approach to software development are set to enhance DSharp’s ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence in the field.
