Leadership

Leadership & Strategy

Embedded technology leadership for founders and executives who need senior judgment on cloud, security, AI, and engineering — without the overhead of a full-time hire.

Fractional CTO & Interim Head of IT

Embedded technology leadership for growing businesses, scale-ups, and organizations in transition.

Act as your accountable technology leader — owning architecture decisions, hiring and mentoring the engineering team, translating business goals into a delivery plan, and representing technology to the board, investors, and customers. Ideal for companies between their first senior engineer and their first VP of Engineering, or during interim coverage of a vacated leadership role.

AI Transformation Strategy

A pragmatic, outcome-led plan to augment or replace traditional business processes with AI.

Start from business outcomes, not model hype. Map your current processes, identify where vision, language, or agentic AI can remove manual effort, and produce an executable roadmap with measurable milestones, make-vs-buy decisions, cost and risk modeling, and a change-management plan. Built from real delivery experience on production AI products serving thousands of users.

IT Strategy & Governance

Multi-year technology roadmap aligned with business strategy, delivered with clear governance.

Bring structure and visibility to technology decisions — roadmap planning, architecture review boards, change management, SLA frameworks, and reporting cadences that give the executive team and the board confidence that technology is on track.

IT Team Mentoring & Leadership

Coach engineering managers and senior developers to grow into leadership.

One-on-one mentorship for technical leaders at inflection points in their careers, team-level coaching on delivery, quality, and psychological safety, and executive coaching on how to work effectively with a technical organization.

Innovation

AI-Driven Innovation

Hands-on delivery of AI systems that ship to production — from multi-tenant agent platforms to document intelligence, conversational workflows, and AI-native consumer products. Each service is backed by a real product I've built and operated.

Agentic AI Platform Engineering

Design and build multi-tenant AI agent platforms that scale to thousands of users.

Multi-tenant isolation, authentication and RBAC, Stripe-based billing and credits, multi-model support with fallback chains, channel integrations (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord), webhook plumbing, cron scheduling, encrypted BYOK keys, and cost / usage monitoring. Proven by OpenClaw Cloud — a live SaaS running Next.js on Vercel with an Express and WebSocket gateway on Fly.io, built as a Turborepo monorepo.

AI Document & Knowledge Automation

Replace manual document handling with vision + LLM pipelines that improve as people use them.

Ingest scanner dumps, PDFs, or email attachments; classify documents with vision models; extract structured metadata; validate domain-specific identifiers (tax IDs, codes, SKUs); auto-file into the correct folder structure; match to customers or records in your CRM; and route low-confidence items to a human review queue whose corrections feed back as few-shot examples. Proven by ScanDoc (Italian market, Partita IVA / Codice Fiscale validation, CRM integration).

Conversational Onboarding & Workflow Automation

Replace forms and call centers with LLM-powered conversational interfaces.

Turn paperwork-heavy flows — account creation, KYC, profile building, data collection — into friendly chat assistants that ask one thing at a time and persist structured data as the conversation progresses. Proven by Domu.care's Alma and Mila assistants, which onboard both families and caregivers into a cross-border care platform.

AI-Native Product Engineering

Ship AI features into mobile, web, and IoT products — end to end.

From vision recognition in a React Native app to AI-assisted data collection on a Home Assistant touchscreen, I design, build, and operate AI-native product features with the full stack in mind — latency budgets, offline behavior, model selection, cost control, safety, and iteration loops. Proven by LokApp (iOS + Android, vision-AI inventory, published in the App Store and Google Play) and Home Assistant ESP32-S3 touch displays.

Platform

Platform & Operations

The foundation underneath the products: cloud, scale, security, data, and the supplier and licensing model that keeps it all running predictably.

Cloud Migration & Optimization (AWS, Azure, GCP)

Plan and execute cloud migrations, and optimize existing cloud estates for cost, reliability, and security.

Assess, re-platform, or re-architect — on AWS, Azure, or GCP — with a focus on measurable outcomes: lower unit cost, higher uptime, faster delivery, and a lower security and compliance burden. Experience across infrastructure-as-code, multi-region design, data residency constraints (including GDPR eu-central-1), and cost monitoring.

Multi-tenant SaaS Architecture & Scale

Architect SaaS products that stay simple as they grow from one tenant to thousands.

Tenant isolation models, shared vs dedicated infrastructure, metered billing, resource quotas, per-tenant observability, and safe zero-downtime schema evolution — the decisions that determine whether your SaaS is still maintainable at 10× the current scale. Informed by running a production multi-tenant AI platform serving thousands of users.

Cybersecurity & Compliance

Security posture and compliance frameworks for regulated and sensitive environments.

Risk assessment, threat modeling, zero-trust architecture, identity and access management, data protection (encryption at rest, in transit, and client-side), audit logging, chain-of-custody, and regulatory alignment including GDPR. Field experience ranges from NIST-compliant forensic evidence platforms to healthcare-adjacent and domestic-abuse-protection systems under NDA.

Business Intelligence & Data Analytics

Turn operational data into decisions — dashboards, metrics, and data products the business actually uses.

Instrument the business, build a trustworthy semantic layer, and deliver dashboards and alerts that drive action rather than noise. Strong opinions about which metrics matter, how to avoid vanity numbers, and how to make data self-service without losing governance.

Vendor Management & Licensing Optimization

Optimize third-party spend and negotiate with suppliers from a position of technical strength.

Rationalize SaaS and infrastructure spend, consolidate overlapping tools, renegotiate contracts at renewal, and build an internal process that keeps vendor choices aligned with strategy. Past engagements have delivered seven-figure annual savings in licensing and infrastructure cost.
