About us - A digital studio united by curiosity, passion, and friendship
Avokado was founded by two brothers with a lifelong passion for technology and engineering. What started as curiosity and experimentation gradually grew into a structured digital studio, collaborating with trusted designers and developers to build, evolve, and support complex digital products.
Our story
Avokado was born long before it had a name.
We grew up in Italy and started coding at a very young age, driven purely by curiosity. What began as simple scripts and small experiments quickly turned into a habit of building, breaking, and rebuilding things just to understand how they worked. Coding was never just a skill for us; it was how we spent our free time.
Over the years, curiosity turned into confidence. Side projects grew more ambitious, branching into areas like automation, data, and early forms of AI. By the time we moved to Switzerland to pursue our Master’s degrees in Software and Data Engineering at the Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) in Lugano, building complex systems already felt natural.
During this period, our work was recognized by Apple after winning one of their programming contests, resulting in a personal invitation to attend WWDC in 2017. It was a strong confirmation that the way we approached engineering, with depth, curiosity, and attention to detail, was already at a professional level.
In 2018, while still at university, we decided to formalize this path and start a company. What started as a small operation evolved organically, following the problems we were most interested in solving and gradually expanding across infrastructure, blockchain, AI, management platforms, IoT solutions, and mobile applications, growing in depth as our experience did.
Today, Avokado is a digital studio based near Lugano, working with clients across Switzerland, Italy, the UK, and beyond. We collaborate with a trusted network of engineers and designers to deliver robust systems that are ready for real‑world use and built to last.

Our values
We care deeply about how we work and the people we work with. If this approach resonates with you and you think you’d be a great addition to our team, we’d love to hear from you.
View open positions- People first
- We believe great work comes from trust, collaboration, and mutual respect. Whether working with teammates or clients, we choose long‑term relationships over short‑term wins as we focus on honesty and clear communication.
- Care for the craft
- We take pride in what we build and how we build it. Clean code, thoughtful design, and well‑made systems matter to us, not for perfection’s sake, but because quality is a form of respect for everyone involved.
- Always learning
- We never stop asking how things work or how they could work better. Curiosity pushed us to start early, keep learning, and explore new technologies long before they became mainstream.
