About Ivan Guglielmana
Ivan has been working as a software developer and IT specialist for many years. His job is more than just work for him. It is a real passion for him. Ever since he was young, he has been fascinated by everything to do with new media, technology and digital innovation, whether it's artificial intelligence, virtual reality or new programming frameworks
At ValueQuest, Ivan develops web-based applications and internal tools. He is part of the IT team, where he contributes his technical experience and his sense for clean, well-thought-out code. His colleagues appreciate him not only for his Italian butter biscotti, which he brings back from Valchiavenna (IT) every time, but also for his humorous nature.
After completing his master's degree in computer science at the University of Milano-Bicocca, his focus remained on learning, experimenting and tinkering. Synthesizers, electronic drums, VR glasses, old computer parts and programmable robots stand side by side in his private studio. IT and musical talent can't go together? Oh yes they can! In his spare time, Ivan produces electronic music, used to DJ and loves experimenting with sounds - from the legendary Roland 909 to modern midi controllers.
When he wants to switch off, he watches series. His favorites are Breaking Bad, Succession or The Last of Us. Or he plays football with his son. He dreams of becoming a professional goalkeeper and Ivan often accompanies him to matches and training sessions.
And anyone who knows Ivan knows that cooking is his second great passion (as befits an Italian). He is particularly proud of his spezzatino di vitello, which he prepares with a lot of patience and a touch of grappa or chili vodka. "Patience is the secret of every good code - and every good spezzatino," he says with a wink.
Ivan's favorite recipe: Spezzatino-Vitello
At ValueQuest, we don't believe in run-of-the-mill feedback solutions. Every organization is different. That's why we develop surveys that are tailored to your specific requirements - whether you are an SME or a large corporation. Good collaboration and inspiration don't just happen at your desk, but sometimes also over lunch or dinner. That's why we not only share our expertise here, but also our favorite recipes from the ValueQuest team.
This is how it's done
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy casserole. Season the veal cubes with salt and pepper and fry in batches until they start to color. Remove the meat and put to one side. In the same pan, sauté the onion, carrot and celery for 5-7 minutes until lightly browned. Fry the garlic briefly.
- Add the tomato puree and stir for 1 minute until the contents of the pan take on color and darken.
- Deglaze with white wine, bring to the boil briefly and reduce the liquid by about half. Return the meat to the pan. Pour in the stock, add the bay leaf and rosemary. Cover and simmer over a low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours until the meat is tender. Stir occasionally and check that there is enough liquid in the pot. Add peas or potatoes in the last 20-30 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Buon appetito!

For me, Spezzatino di Vitello is more than just a recipe. It is a taste memory. I grew up in Valchiavenna in Italy, and this dish was often on the table on Sundays - at Nonna's, at my parents', sometimes after a long day in the city. When I cook it today, the kitchen smells just like it did back then: braised onions, rosemary, a hint of white wine. Every portion is a little piece of Italian memory - warm, down-to-earth, slow-cooked. That's exactly why it's my favorite dish.
