@paologallo
AI executive and enterprise architect driving decision intelligence solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am an AI executive and enterprise architect with 25+ years turning complex data into strategic, mission-critical decision intelligence for Intelligence, Defense, Life Sciences, and Finance.
I have managed multi-million-dollar technology budgets and led international R&D programs, architecting scalable AI platforms from CORBA-era systems through cloud-native microservices and modern LLM/NLP stacks.
At CY4GATE I lead development of QUIPO, an open decision intelligence platform for real-time big data fusion; at Expert.ai I pioneered an NLU API and life-sciences solutions that improved R&D workflows and treatment quality.
I combine technical depth (knowledge graphs, transformers, bioNLP, cloud, containers, distributed processing) with product and go-to-market leadership to deliver secure, high-availability systems that meet strict data-sovereignty and analyst-access requirements.
