What I'm looking for

Remote CTO or VP of Engineering, owning architecture, delivery and the engineering organisation end to end. Strongest in regulated software - medical device and clinical products, including a Class I SaMD taken through validation and audit - and in cloud platforms where reliability and cost both have to hold. Bologna, Italy; fully remote, with a solid overlap with US Eastern mornings.

At Mooltiverse, my technology practice, I build LLM-based prototypes for finance, administration, and trading workflows, and maintain Nyx, my open-source semantic release automation tool written in Java and Go.

At Osteocom S.R.L., I designed and delivered an AI video localization pipeline for dental-surgery content, cutting turnaround by over 98%. At Alira Health (PatchAI), I took a Class I Software as a Medical Device through production release under MDR, IEC 62304, and ISO 13485; the release passed validation and the pharmaceutical client's audit.

At NoemaLife, I merged 7 international software factories and consolidated 31 products across 6 countries. I also cut global IT infrastructure costs by 60% against a €2.5M budget, while owning operations for clinical and diagnostic systems.
