Top SchoolLorenzo Natali is a software engineer with 14 years of experience, specializing in front-end development using modern JavaScript (ES6, React, Redux, RxJS) and a strong background in geospatial information systems. Based in Liguria, Italy, he has been a core technical contributor and lead on the open-source MapStore project, enhancing UI components, plugin architecture, and print/URL handling to make web mapping and dashboards more robust.

Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic solutions that improve extensibility—such as expression-driven plugin control—and clear, documented contributions that scale across an open-source community.
