Hi there! I’m Dev, a recent Master’s graduate in Architecture with a specialization in UrbanRegeneration, now based in Parma, Italy, where I’m working as an Architect and Urban Designer (Trainee) with the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). My background spans projects focused on urban regeneration, like my research in Manchester’s Mayfield Park, where I explored how architecture and sustainability can revitalize communities while preserving their character.

Beyond work, I’m an active youth member of the European Solidarity Corps, collaborating on social and environmental projects across Europe. It’s a way for me to connect with amazing people while making a positive impact on communities and the environment—two things I care about deeply.

I enjoy meeting new people, sharing experiences, and exchanging ideas. Whether it's discussing architecture, travel, or life in Italy, I’m always up for good conversations with like-minded people.

What I can do for you:
If you’re visiting Parma, I’d be happy to suggest some local spots and hidden gems that show off the city’s authentic charm. And of course, I can recommend some great places to eat here based on what you enjoy.

Let’s connect!
