Hi, I'm Stefano
Software Engineer // Tech Lead // Indie Maker
Software engineer with 12+ years of experience, currently leading a development team in Switzerland. I enjoy solving complex problems, designing reliable systems, and building things that people actually use.
Outside of work, I explore my own ideas, experiment with new technologies, and turn some of them into real products.

What I do.
I'm a hands-on Tech Lead, working with a team of developers to design, build, and evolve software solutions.
My role combines technical leadership, software architecture, and problem-solving. I help the team make informed decisions, navigate technical challenges, and turn complex requirements into reliable, maintainable software.
I enjoy sharing knowledge, helping developers grow, and making technical decisions together. And while my responsibilities go beyond writing code, I'm always happy to roll up my sleeves and jump in when needed.
Architecture & engineering
Designing systems, evaluating trade-offs, making technical decisions, and keeping long-term maintainability in mind.
Team & collaboration
Supporting developers, reviewing code, sharing knowledge, and working with stakeholders to turn requirements into practical solutions.
Delivery & operations
Helping projects move from planning to production, with attention to cloud infrastructure, deployment processes, reliability, and continuous improvement.
I believe good software comes from a balance of thoughtful engineering, clear communication, and people working well together.

What I'm building.
Outside of work, I enjoy turning ideas into experiments, useful tools, and sometimes complete products.
AI has changed the way I build software. Combined with over 12 years of engineering experience, it helps me turn ideas into working products faster than ever, while keeping architecture, reliability, and maintainability in focus.
AI speeds things up, but the technical decisions, code reviews, and responsibility for what ships are still mine.
Yelly
Interactive bedtime stories for kids, with AI-generated adventures, personalization, and a realtime backend that brings everything together.

How it's hosted.
One of the things I enjoy about building personal projects is managing the entire journey from code to production. I run a self-hosted k3s cluster on Hetzner, spread across three EU regions, where I experiment with Kubernetes, automation, and deployment strategies.
I like understanding how the pieces fit together and finding ways to keep things reliable without adding unnecessary complexity. Below is an interactive simulation of my setup, from an incoming request to an automated deployment and Kubernetes rolling update.

A little about me.

Yes, that's me on a horse. Probably on vacation.
I'm Stefano, a software engineer living in Italy and working in Switzerland. After 12+ years in software development, I'm still as curious about how things work as when I started.
I enjoy solving problems, learning new things, and exploring technologies beyond what I use in my day-to-day work. Building personal projects gives me the freedom to experiment, make mistakes, and try ideas just for the fun of it.
And there's more to life than code: traveling, beach volleyball, padel, probably too much One Piece, and the occasional horseback ride when I'm on vacation.
