About Fabio
I had the career I was supposed to want.
For years I did everything I was supposed to do. Top of my class in computer science, twice. A good consulting job, then a better-paid one with the title to match.
On paper, I was doing well. I was also miserable. Most of the work felt irrelevant, buried under politics and noise. I told myself that was just what work was.
Then my mother got sick. I spent her last months answering emails from waiting rooms while she slipped away beside me. Afterwards, I couldn't keep pretending the work mattered.
A few weeks later, they asked me to leave. A Slack message at 7 PM, and a payout to close it quickly. Leaving that job was a relief.
I wanted more say in how I spent my life.
I wanted to build small, useful things, make good money, and own my time. That became the reason to build my own businesses.
Those ventures have ranged from clinic software to flight deals and cocktail tools. I've built and run them myself, without a team or investors. That means living with every decision: the product, the costs, and the work it takes to keep it going.
It taught me to look at the whole business. What do customers value? What does it cost to deliver? And how much of my life does it take to keep it running?
Those questions matter to me as much as the code.
The work I do today
I'm still an engineer.
I've spent more than ten years building software: first as a consultant and cloud architect at Reply, then as a senior engineer at Bending Spoons.
Today I design and build apps end to end for San Raffaele hospital. One helps coordinate the response to cardiac arrests. It's work where careful engineering matters. I create software with AI and stay involved at every stage, from design to delivery.
Alongside that, I build my own products and use AI in the work. It has changed how much I can take on as one person. That's what excites me: being able to try an idea that would once have needed more time or a bigger team.
I help other business owners work out where AI could do the same for them. We look at what they want to achieve and what's getting in the way. Then I do the engineering to make the change happen.
Working together
Have a business you want to grow?
I offer an AI Audit and Build service for established businesses. We assess where AI could help you take on more work, then I build and integrate the solution.
