His Building design activity starts just after the achievement of Surveyor Graduate. From the very beginning he begins to work with some engineering firms, where he gains design and construction knowledge Once achieved the Degree in Civil Engineering he moved to Bologna, where he started to cooperate with several engineering firms;
Afterwards, while maintaining his freelance activity, he was employed by one of the most relevant Italian construction companies, where he played several roles, from safety coordinator to executive planning reviewer, assuming also the role of quarry and gravel crusher manager.
In July 2002 he started to work purely as freelance, establishing StudioDEG (De Cocinis Engineering Group) firm and creating a work group focused on architectural, structural and infrastructural design and consulting for construction companies, enterprises and public administrations. From then, studioDEG has developed more than 350 works, including design, construction managing and consulting activities.
In 2018 he founded e-Making S.r.l., a digital engineering company focused on human-centred design The company engages in integrated design in the B.I.M. environment and by exploiting the potential offered by new enabling technologies offers innovative services in the fields of building design, due diligence and facility management.
Since September 2018, he has started a collaboration with Politecnico di Milano as an Adjunct faculty member, in the course of Technology and Design in BIM Environment.
