I'm
Stefano Salvucci
Fractional CTO — from prototype to product
I build digital products for people with an idea and no technical team. Start with a prototype you can show, end with a platform running in production. With AI I handle alone the work that three years ago took a team of four.
Experience and results
12 years writing software, designing architectures, and automating processes. Today I work as a Fractional CTO: I build digital products for people with an idea and no technical team, from the first prototype to a platform running in production. I also work with companies that already have a product, on technical leadership, AI automation, and Italian Public Administration integrations.
Co-founder of Social Academy and BusinessinCloud — Italy's first all-in-one educational marketing platform — I've built digital products that serve millions of users and handle multi-million euro transactions.
Selected in 2019 as a YTILI Fellow by the U.S. Department of State and the German Marshall Fund, I collaborated with European entrepreneurs and leaders on innovation projects. Author of awesome-italian-pa-opensource, a curated list of open-source libraries and tools for integrating Italian Public Administration services into software applications. I supported the launch of Dock Startup Lab at Roma Tre University. For 2 years I taught Full Stack Web Development at Epicode.
Registered member of the Rome Engineers' Association.
Measurable results
Real data from platforms I designed and shipped to production.
What I do
Prototype
From an idea to something you can show: a clickable prototype to validate the concept with partners, investors, or first customers. Days, not months. If it doesn't convince, you stop here.
Product in production
The prototype becomes a real product: users, database, payments, deploy. I take it from design to launch, on an architecture that holds up as you grow.
AI automation
I map your processes, find the bottlenecks, and eliminate them with AI agents and automation. Less grunt work, fewer errors, more margin.
Technical leadership
Fractional CTO for teams and products that already exist and need someone to set the direction: stack, architecture, priorities, hiring.
