Principal Engineer · IT Architect · AI Builder

I design, build and run systems in production.

AI engineering, multi-chain DeFi, B2B pharma SaaS and the Italian public sector. I write the spec, design the architecture, ship the deploy and keep the system running afterwards.

02 · How I work

From a 30-minute call to a system in production.

Fractional CTO, technical architect or founding engineer. The path is the same.

  1. 30 min

    Discovery call

    Context, goals and constraints. I learn what already exists and what breaks.

  2. in writing

    Scope and rate

    A written proposal with deliverables, timeline and rate range.

  3. weekly

    Engagement

    Kickoff, decision log, weekly checkpoints and a documented handoff at the end.

03 · Domains

Generalist by design, specialist where it matters.

Six areas where I have systems in production or shipped deliverables, each with a number you can check.
